The senior women national football team of Ghana are expected to resume training this afternoon after days off to begin preparations towards their second leg clash against Egypt in the 2026 WAFCON qualifiers.
The Black Queens are almost after an emphatic 0-3 against Cleopatras in the first leg last Thursday, October 23, in what was a very fascinating game in Ismailia.
Doris Boaduwaa opened the scoring with a cool finish coupled with two other second half goals from Mary Amponsah and Grace Asantewaa to seal the victory.
The team right on their return to the country have refused to train since Friday to prepare for the return encounter and this is to protest against their unpaid bonuses of $9,500 each from the last WAFCON, where they clinched bronze.
However, meeting with Sports Minister Hon. Kofi Adams didn’t end well as he’s questioned the players commitment and patriotism and has reportedly told the players to leave the team’s base Erata Hotel and return to their various clubs if they are still not willing to play.
Ghana FA boss Kurt Okraku also met with the team and has given them the assurance they need that all arrears will be settled very soon and the Queens are set to resume training this afternoon to begin preparations towards the game.
The second leg against Egypt is slated for Tuesday, October 28, at the Ohene Gyan Stadium at 15:30GMT (3:30pm)
