The Ghana Minifootball Association of Ghana (MAG) has officially introduced its women's national team ahead of the inaugural Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 2026. The unveiling ceremony took place at the Information Services Department Press Conference Hall in Adabraka, marking a significant milestone in the development of the sport in the country.
As part of the preparations for the Women's Minifootball tournament on the continent, MAG President Bernard Paakow Ekumah emphasized the rapid rise of the women's team from a local grassroots movement to an internationally competitive force. Despite the men's team yet to win any cup, the MAG aims to elevate the women's team to the top of Africa's ranking.
The Sparks Ladies, consisting primarily of members from the Ghana Police Service, will represent the nation in Cameroon later this year. Corporate sponsor Suniel has officially partnered to provide match kits for the upcoming assignment, signaling the need for strategic corporate partnerships to sustain momentum and elevate Ghana's profile on the world stage.
