Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren is happy that midfielder Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah has taken the opportunity to play with Ghana’s National Women’s Football Team very well.
The 29 year old player who is of Ghanaian descent opted to play for Ghana after featuring for England at the junior levels and made her Black Queens debut in April this year but has gone on to star in the 2024 CAF Women’s AFCON.
Competing in her debut AFCON, Boye-Hlorkah has scored a goal and won the Woman of the Match Award in a 4-1 Ghana win over Tanzania; her performances have made her a beloved figure in the team and Bjorkegren is happy she has taken the opportunity well.
“She [Boye-Hlorkah] helps us a lot. The fact that she grew up there [in England] and got experience from the league. Mentally you are a little bit different because of that so I think she gives the team power.”
“I’m really happy both for her and for us that she actually took this chance and…she really wants to help Ghana to win this last game and to make the people in Ghana proud” Bjorkegren said.
Ghana takes on South Africa in the bronze medal game and could win its first medal at the AFCON since 2016.
