Adjoa Bayor on Ghana women's national football team

“It’s worrying the Black Queens has been evicted from the 2022 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations tournament. After defeat to Nigeria in the first leg, we should have overturned the scoreline but unfortunately, it didn’t happen.”

“I am saddened by the Black Queens defeat. The defeat was here because I noticed that the players didn’t play their hearts out for the nation. Most of the players are inexperienced so clearly you could see that they are not matured enough to play for the Queens.”

“I think that when the team has a match, they will need as many fans as possible at the stadium to cheer them on. That has to happen for everything to work out well for the Queens. When the players see the fans, they will give all they have and perform well on the pitch.”

“For the first time we are hosting the tournament in Ghana and our prayer is that our ladies will be able to win it. Normally when you go for tournaments, it is always important to start on a winning note, so my advise to the team is that they start the tournament well by winning and playing well. Fortunately for us, we are playing here in Ghana, so we will have the fans backing us. We can only make them proud by winning our first game."”
