The Black Queens will be battling it out with the host nation country in the semi-finals of the ongoing Women's Africa Cup of Nations following a victory over Algeria.
Ghana advanced to the semis after beating Algeria 4-2 on penalties after a goalless draw at the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) to set up a semi-final game with hosts Morocco.
Cynthia Konlan was the hero for the Black Queens, saving from Marine Dafeur and Ines Belloumou in the shootout before Evelyn Badu converted the winner to spark joyous celebrations.
The West Africans were the brighter side for the majority of a scrappy encounter in Berkane, with Algeria lacking a cutting edge in the final third.
Stella Nyamekye thought she had fired the Ghana in front in the 27th minute, but her fierce strike was ruled out after a VAR check for a marginal offside in the build-up.
Badu then spurned a glorious chance to win it with three minutes remaining of the 90 when she failed to connect with a knock-down some eight yards out.
The two sides cancelled each other out during extra time, with the only chance of note coming when Algeria midfielder Ghoutia Karchouni sent a long-range effort over the bar at the end of the first period.
Ghana will now travel to Rabat to take on Morocco, who defeated Mali 3-1 on Friday, in the last four on Tuesday, July 22, 2025.
The Black Queens are hoping to clinch their first-ever WAFCON title at the ongoing edition in Morocco.
Ghana have finished as WAFCON runners-up three times and will now have to pull off an upset against Morocco if they are to go on and claim their first continental title.
