WAFCON 2024: Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah hails Ghanaian fans following crucial win over Tanzania

Black Queens forward Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah has praised Ghanaian fans for their unwavering support after the team’s emphatic 4-1 victory over Tanzania in their final Group C game at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

The result secured Ghana a quarterfinal spot, where they will face Algeria on Friday, July 19, at the Stade Municipal de Berkane at 16:00 GMT.

Reflecting on the win, Boye-Hlorkah acknowledged the early setback when Ghana conceded first, but credited both her teammates and fans for lifting the squad.

“We conceded the goal, which I take responsibility for, but then, as I look around, all the girls are picking me up,” she said. “That’s what we needed today. That’s what the coach wanted—and I told the girls, we need a team.”

She continued, “I’m so proud of the girls. I’m so proud of the fans. We’re not going to win this game without being a team, and that’s what we did every second of that game.”

Ghana will now look to build on the momentum as they prepare for a crucial quarterfinal test against Algeria.
