Black Queens captain Portia Boakye joins Mexico’s UNAM Pumas
Boakye joins the club following her stint with DR Congo side TP Mazembe, which saw her also play at the CAF Women's Champions League.
Ghanaian footballer Portia Boakye has signed with Mexican top-flight side UNAM Pumas Femenil for the 2026/27 season. Boakye's transfer comes after her time with DR Congo club TP Mazembe, where she also participated in the CAF Women’s Champions League. The Black Queens captain revealed her move to Mexico on September 24, following her arrival in the country earlier this month.
Boakye's illustrious career includes stints at Ostersunds, Trabzon Idmanocagi, Ferencvarosi, Djurgarden, and Hapoel Petah Tikva. Now 37 years old, Boakye aims to contribute her wealth of experience to UNAM Pumas' defense for the remainder of the season. The team currently stands fourth in Group B of the Mexican league, having played eight matches.
Boakye was part of the Black Queens squad that competed in the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), but they were eliminated in the quarterfinal by Malawi. She is set to make her debut against Atlante on September 28 in the Mexican league. Boakye will join fellow Ghanaian teammates Grace Asantewaa and Susan Ama Duah in her new Mexican league.
