Black Princesses striker, Mukarama Abdulai spending time with some fans
Ghanaians on social media have eulogized the Black Princesses after they emerged as winners of the women's football tournament of the 2023 African Games.
The Black Princesses showed outstanding resilience in the final, coming from a goal down to beat defending champions Nigeria at the Cape Coast Stadium on Thursday, March 21, 2024.
Tracy Twum and Mukarama Abdulai scored two fabulous goals to ensure the comeback win after Edeh Njideka had given Nigeria the lead.
Many Ghanaians were impressed with the Princesses' fighting spirit, while others praised some of the outstanding players on the night.
The players who received the loudest applause were Mukarama, who scored the match-winner, Maafia Nyame, Abiba Issah, and coach Yusif Basigi.
