Ghana's Black Queens have demanded that the government address unpaid bonuses and welfare issues faced by the team during their participation in the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco. The players issued a statement expressing frustration over several outstanding financial and welfare matters, including unpaid bonuses from the 2025 Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt and the WAFCON qualification bonus.
They also raised concerns over unpaid per diem allowances and called for improved management support and attention to the mental health of the players. The players emphasized that their decision to bring up these concerns was not intended to create conflict, but rather to promote transparency, accountability, fairness, and respect.
They noted that while they have made significant sacrifices in representing Ghana, they have largely depended on themselves, teammates, and technical staff during the campaign in Morocco. The Black Queens' statement comes at a critical juncture in their quest for qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, as they face Côte d'Ivoire in their final group stage match.
