Black Queens secured a dominant 7-0 victory over Mauritius in the second leg of the 2028 Olympic Games qualifiers, advancing to the third round of the tournament. This result completed a 10-0 aggregate win, following Ghana's 3-0 triumph in the first leg. Evelyn Badu, Portia Boakye, and Zakaria Ajegipina put Ghana ahead at halftime.
The Black Queens added four more goals in the second half, with Simon scoring the fourth in the 73rd minute, Cudjoe converting a penalty in the 86th, and Amoh and Abdulai sealing the match. Ghana will face Uganda or Zambia in the third round, scheduled for February 2027. This historic win takes Ghana one step closer to becoming the first African nation to ever qualify for the Women's Olympic Football Tournament, a milestone that has eluded them since women's football was introduced to the Olympics in 1996.
