Ghana’s midfield dynamo, Alice Kusi, is making headlines at the 2024 CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), as she remains firmly in the hunt for the tournament’s coveted Golden Boot.
After an electrifying group stage in Morocco, the tournament has now entered the high-stakes quarter-final phase, with eight nations dreaming of continental glory. Among the standout performers is Kusi, who has been a vital force for the Black Queens, bagging two crucial goals to guide Ghana to second place in Group C.
While Kusi finds herself trailing behind tournament leaders like Morocco’s Ghizlane Chebbak and Senegal’s Nguenar Ndiaye—both sitting on four goals—she remains within striking distance. Zambian stars Barbra Banda and Racheal Kundananji have also impressed with three goals each.
With the knockout rounds set to determine not just the WAFCON champions but also the Golden Boot winner, Alice Kusi will be eyeing more goal-scoring moments to close the gap on the leaders.
Current WAFCON 2024 Golden Boot Race After Group Stage:
Ghizlane Chebbak (Morocco) – 4 goals
Nguenar Ndiaye (Senegal) – 4 goals
Barbra Banda (Zambia) – 3 goals
Racheal Kundananji (Zambia) – 3 goals
Mama Diop (Senegal) – 2 goals
Chinwendu Ihezuo (Nigeria) – 2 goals
Alice Kusi (Ghana) – 2 goals
Yasmine Mrabet (Morocco) – 2 goals
All eyes will be on Alice Kusi and her Black Queens teammates as they aim to make history—not just by lifting the trophy, but by bringing home individual honors too.

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has showered praise on Mohamed Salah, highlighting what makes the Liverpool star stand out in modern football.
“I like players who dribble with purpose — who create chances and deliver assists,” Henry said. “These days, there’s too much pointless dribbling, just showboating. But Salah? Every time he gets the ball, something happens. It’s all about efficiency, not empty flair.”
Henry’s message is clear: in a world full of tricks, Salah delivers results.
