Ghana will have two representatives in the individual women’s categories at the 2026 CAF Awards, with Black Queens captain Portia Boakye and goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan earning nominations.
Boakye has been nominated for Women’s Player of the Year, while Konlan is in contention for Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year.
Boakye’s nomination follows her contribution to Ghana’s 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign, where she featured in five matches and provided one assist as the Black Queens reached the quarter-finals.
Konlan, meanwhile, made four appearances at the tournament, recording one clean sheet and conceding four goals in 360 minutes.
The goalkeeper also brings previous continental experience, having represented Ghana at the 2024 WAFCON.
The Black Queens have also been nominated for Women’s National Team of the Year, giving Ghana recognition in three women’s categories.
The 2026 CAF Awards, slated for Monday, December 7, 2026, will celebrate outstanding performances across African football over the eligibility period.
