2024 WAFCON: Sports Ministry clears Black Queens' outstanding allowances ahead of Tanzania clash

The Ministry of Sports and Recreation has paid Black Queens' outstanding allowances ahead of their final group game against Tanzania in the ongoing 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

"They had a few challenges along the line... their finances were delayed a bit. But to the glory of God, the Minister for Sports and Recreation (Kofi Iddie Adams) facilitated the quick release of the money, and they have been sorted out," Ghana’s Ambassador to Morocco, Charity Gbedawo, told Joy Sports.

Her Excellency Gbedawo expressed faith that the payments will spark a morale boost ahead of Monday's final group game.

"Their morale has gone up, so on this note, I believe that tomorrow's match they are going to make Ghana proud. I know they will score (win) so that they move on (qualify) to the next game."

Ghana remain at the bottom in Group C after two games. The Black Queens opened their campaign with a 2-0 defeat against South Africa before a 1-1 draw against Mali.

Ahead of their final group game, Ghana will need to win convincingly and hope South Africa beat Mali to give them a chance to qualify for the next round of the tournament.
