CEO of Hasaacas Ladies Football Club, Evelyn Nsiah Asare Owusu, has stated that Black Queens forward Doris Boaduwaa isn’t the only player in Ghana’s National Women’s Football Team who has underperformed at the 2024 CAF Women’s AFCON.
She made this comment in an interview following Ghana’s 4-2 loss on penalties to Morocco in the semifinals of the continental championship.
Highly rated Boaduwaa went into the tournament on the back of winning the Female Footballer of the Year Award at the Ghana Football Awards and scoring a hat-trick in Ghana’s friendly game win over Malawi.
However, Boaduwaa hasn’t scored in four games in the tournament and has generally been poor for the Black Queens in the lead-up to Ghana’s bronze medal game against South Africa on Friday, July 25, at 19:00 GMT. However, Evelyn Nsiah Asare Owusu says Boaduwaa isn’t the only underperforming Black Queens player.
“We cannot pinpoint what exactly is the problem I feel that the [head] coach [Kim Lars Bjorkegren] should have done something. The technical team should sit all the players down it is not her alone; there are so many of the players who are not doing what we are expecting from them. We know them to be very good players” she said.
Doris Boaduwaa won the Female Footballer of the Year Award at the 2025 Ghana Football Awards.
Like Boaduwaa, former Hasaacas striker Evelyn Badu faced significant criticism for her performances in the tournament.
