WAFCON 2024: Ghana’s Alice Kusi in Golden Boot Chase as Knockout Stage Heats Up!
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.
