Ghana is traditionally a powerhouse of African Football but the sport is believed to be dying due to lack of corporate sponsorship.[1][2][3]

Since 2016, the Ghana Women's FA Cup is played as the top knockout tournament of the Ghanaian association football.[11]

National team edit

Ghana have qualified for 3 world cups.[12]

Alberta Sackey and Adjoa Bayor are considered one of the best female players to come from Africa.[13]
