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]

Although popular amongst girls, many experience prejudice and discrimination.[4][5][6][7]

Domestic football edit

After several years the Ghana FA implemented a Ghana Women's Football League.[8] In 2022 the GWFL has finally gained television sponsorship.[9][10]

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]
