The Black Queens are champions of the 2026 Pink Ladies Cup played in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Ghana were declared champions following heavy wins over Hong Kong in their opening game as well as another convincing victory over Russia in their second game.
Kim Lars Bjorkegren’s side recorded a 4-0 win over Hong Kong in the tournament opener with Princess Marfo, Doris Boaduwaa, Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah and Ajegipena Zakaria all scoring.
The second game against Russia also saw a similar scoreline where Doris Boaduwaa scored twice with Stella Nyamekye and Ajegipena scoring again.
Ghana’s performances in the two games left them in pole position for the trophy, taking into consideration the performances of the other three teams.
The team was expected to face Tanzania in their final game on Friday, March 6, but the game was called off by the organisers.
For individual awards, Doris Boaduwaa, who was three times on the scoresheet, won the Golden Boot for her impressive outing in two games.
Goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan Findib also claimed the Golden Glove after keeping two clean sheets in the tournament.
The players are expected to break camp in the coming days to their respective clubs following the postponement of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) from March 17 to July 25.
