Organisers noted that the Women’s Democracy Cup will become an annual competition aimed at celebrating the contribution of women to Ghana’s democratic development. It will also provide a high-profile platform for women’s clubs to showcase their talent, competitiveness, and contribute to the continued growth of women’s football in the country.
