Black Queens forward Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah says she is grateful for the opportunity to represent Ghana and is hoping the team does the country proud at the Women’s AFCON.
29 year old Boye-Hlorkah represented England at the Under 19 and Under 23 level before switching to represent Ghana and made her debut in a friendly tie against Senegal.
This year’s Women’s AFCON is scheduled to take place in Morocco from July 5 to July 26 with 12 nations set to compete; South Africa are the defending champions.
Ghana has qualified to compete in the tournament and has been drawn in Group C with South Africa, Mali and Tanzania; the top two ranked nations qualify automatically to the next round.
Speaking from the Black Queens base in Morocco, Boye-Hlorkah, who recently helped London City Lionesses qualify to the Women’s Super League, stated,
“It’s a big achievement to be going to a major competition especially representing Ghana…it’s amazing. I’m lost for words to be honest, I’m just grateful for the opportunity and hopefully I can show that I am wearing the shirt with pride and we do the country proud.”
Ghana beat Malawi 3-1 in a friendly game this past weekend and take on Botswana on Wednesday, June 25. Scroll down to watch video.
