having the platform to provide unique insight intothe opportunities that

football will be as big as the men’s game. It takes a lot of hard work and
determination. If I can help develop women’s football with my desire and

when I’m older and know that in my role as an ambassador I played a small part in pushing women’s football in Ghana
forward will be satisfaction enough.”

ambassador,” said Sandra Ankobiah, the former TV host, also added. “The women’s
