Sweden based Ghanaian attacker Elizabeth Addo is very optimistic about the Black Queens winning the 2018 Total Women Africa Cup of Nations.

Ghana has never won the competition which has been held biennially since 1998 but, the Kvarnsvedens IK forward [Elizabeth Addo] is a tad too confident that with the right mechanisms put in place, the Black Queens can surely annex the trophy on home soil:

“If we prepare and shape the team well, we stand a chance of host and win,” Elizabeth told www.sports24ghana.com

Elizabeth Addo, otherwise known as Ama Pele also called on the government to put in the necessary logistics including motivation ahead of the competition.

She further reckons that the media will have to play a key role in keeping the citizenry abreast of events leading to a successful tournament.

“The media have a very big role to play, hyping the occasion is very essential as it create awareness.”

Elizabeth’s biggest dream going into the future is to win trophy for Ghana.

“I wish to win a trophy for my country,” the former Ashaiman Ladies striker said.

The 13th edition of the Africa Women Cup of Nations, which doubles as the African qualifiers to the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup will be held in Ghana from 17 November to December 01, 2018.

The top three teams will represent African at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France.

Meanwhile, Equatorial Guinea have been banned from participating in the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup having fielded ten [10] unqualified players in the 2016 summer Games in Brazil [Rio]. This means that they are also disqualified from taking part in the 2018 Africa Women Cup of Nations.
