Honoring Heritage and Football Spirit

As Ghana marks its 68th Independence anniversary, Black Queens deputy captain Jennifer Cudjoe has proudly embraced the celebration. The DC Power FC midfielder took to social media, dazzling in vibrant African prints, a heartfelt tribute to her homeland’s rich culture and resilience.

Her post resonates with the Ghana Women’s National Teams’ initiative for Ghana Month, which highlights players and staff adorned in elegant traditional attire. This symbolic gesture reinforces their connection to national identity and history beyond the pitch.

Cudjoe recently represented Ghana in their hard-fought battle against Morocco in Casablanca on February 21, 2025. The match, which ended in a narrow defeat, was the debut for new head coach Kim Lars Björkegren as he kickstarts preparations for the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

As Ghana celebrates its independence, Cudjoe’s tribute exemplifies the unity between football and national pride, inspiring fans and fellow athletes alike.
