Black Queens striker Doris Boaduwaa has vowed to bounce back from a disappointing Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) campaign in Morocco.Doris Boaduwaa, the 2025 Ghana Football Awards’ Female Player of the Year, was expected to shine in the tournament but unfortunately fell short of expectations.
Despite being a key player for the Black Queens, Boaduwaa’s performance didn’t quite match her impressive form that earned her the award, particularly struggling to score in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
The former Hasaacas Ladies forward endured a difficult tournament, failing to score as Ghana reached the semi-finals of the competitions.
Despite the team’s bronze medal win, Boaduwaa felt disenchanted with her performance, issuing an apology to Ghanaians while promising to swiftly regain her top form.
“Not my finest tournament, but still a memorable one! I’m grateful we managed to secure the bronze medal in my WAFCON debut,” she acknowledged.
The former Hasaacas Ladies forward expressed appreciation for her supporters, stating, “To those who supported me through the ups and downs, thank you for your encouragement and prayers. Your words kept me going, and I’m honored to have such a loyal fanbase.”With unwavering determination, Boaduwaa declared, “I apologize to my fans for not quite living up to expectations. I know I’m capable of more, and I promise to bounce back stronger… I’ll be back, and next time, I’ll make sure to bring the goals!”Upon their return to Ghana, the Black Queens were greeted by hundreds of adoring fans at the Kotoka International Airport.
The team subsequently met with President John Mahama at the Jubilee House, following a visit to the Parliament House.
