WAFCON 2024: “Ghana is mentally ready to face South Africa” – Nyamekye

Ghana’s senior women team will look to claim bronze at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations when they face South Africa in the third place clash on Tuesday, July 25.

The Black Queens missed out on the opportunity to lift their first ever trophy after losing 4-2 on penalty shoot outs in the semifinals against host nation Morocco after 120 minutes.

Stella Nyamekye, who scored Ghana’s opener before Sakina Ouzraoui leveled, believes the Black Queens are mentally prepared for the third place encounter against the Banyana Banyana.

“We have prepared very well for this game,” she said. “Per the training we have had, we are mentally prepared for this game.”

Ghana take on defending champions South Africa on Friday, July 25 at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca.

It is a familiar meeting as both sides met at the group stages, where South Africa beat Ghana 2-0.

Morocco will battle perennial winners Nigeria in the finals of the tournament.
