Ghanaian midfielder Evelyn Badu has emphasized her commitment to team success over personal accolades as the Black Queens prepare for the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). The Molde FK star says her sole focus is on helping Ghana achieve its ultimate goal—winning the coveted continental trophy.
Speaking in an interview with AyishaTv, the former Hasaccas Ladies midfielder made a statement that underscores her humility and team spirit.
“I don’t have a personal target for WAFCON—I just want to be a team player and help us achieve our main goal, which is winning the trophy. When the team succeeds, everyone gets recognized.”
The 21-year-old, who plies her trade in Norway with top-tier club Molde FK, is widely regarded as one of the brightest prospects in African women’s football. Yet, she remains grounded and focused on the collective ambition of the Black Queens.
Badu’s leadership and versatility in midfield have been crucial in Ghana’s resurgence under Coach Nora Häuptle. With strong performances during the qualifiers, she has already proven to be a vital cog in the team’s system.
Her statement comes at a time when team unity and a clear focus on collective goals are crucial for Ghana’s chances. The Black Queens are determined to end their long wait for WAFCON glory, having come close in past editions but falling just short of the top prize.
As the team finalizes preparations, Badu’s mindset is likely to resonate with her teammates and fans alike. Her words reflect the growing maturity and professionalism among Ghana’s female footballers ,an attitude that could very well propel them to continental triumph.
With experienced players like Badu anchoring the squad, Ghana heads into WAFCON not just with talent, but with the mentality of champions.
