In a remarkable display of skill and determination, Latifa Musah has been named Player of the Tournament at the inaugural WAFU Zone B U17 Girls Cup in Ghana. The young midfielder played an instrumental role in helping the Black Maidens clinch the title with stellar performances throughout the competition.

Musah’s journey to the top was marked by standout moments, beginning with her dominant performance against Benin in the group stage. She continued to impress with a Player of the Match display in the semi-finals against Ivory Coast, and it was her leadership and brilliance in the final that guided Ghana to victory over Nigeria. The match ended in a dramatic penalty shootout, where the Black Maidens emerged triumphant, showcasing their resilience and teamwork.

Teammate Christiana Ashiaku was awarded the Golden Boot for her clinical finishing, while Nigeria’s Christiana Uzoma earned the Golden Glove for her outstanding goalkeeping.

As the tournament concluded, the talented squad of young players now looks to the future. Many of them, including Musah, are expected to transition to the U20 team as part of the Ghana Football Association’s ongoing efforts to enhance women’s football development in the country. With players like Musah leading the charge, the future of Ghanaian football looks bright.
