“Cool and all but I need y’all to keep the same energy for our U-20 Women’s team who also qualified for their World Cup,” the triple jumper wrote on her Instagram stories.
“Sports are not inherently male, Mr President Nana Akufo-Addo. Also what message do we send young girls about their importance when we do stuff like this. It’s 2022, do better. Disappointed but not surprised.”
Ghana booked their place at the World Cup following a pulsating 1-1 draw against Nigeria at the Mashood Abiola Stadium on Tuesday evening.
A first-half strike by Thomas Partey was cancelled out by a penalty from Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong as both teams shared the spoils in Abuja.
