“Ghana has brighter chance of winning WAFCON in future” – Paintsil

Ghana’s assistant coach, John Paintsil has expressed confidence that, the senior women’s team has a brighter chance of winning the Africa Women’s Championship someday.

The Black Queens returned to the Women Africa Cup of Nations tournament for the first time since 2018 – claiming bronze at the just ended edition in Morocco.

The team defeated South Africa by 4-2 via the penalty shootouts following a 1-1 draw in full time last month. Paintsil gave rave reviews about the team’s campaign and highlighted the promise within the current squad.

“I see a team with a future and a team that can grow to become a better side than they are now,” he said.

“You can also see individual brilliance, and I believe that if they are kept, they will deliver. I don’t believe they had more time to train together, and the time they had was limited, and with a new coach coming in, for me, what they did in Morocco was fantastic.”

“One thing I saw about them was the unity, which was very good. These girls need support, and I believe going forward, they will conquer Africa,” he added.
