Ghana is traditionally a powerhouse of African Football but the sport is believed to dying due to lack of corporate sponsorship.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

After several years the Ghana FA implemented a Ghana Women's Football League.[8]

Alberta Sackey and Adjoa Bayor are considered one of the best female players to come from Africa.[9]

Although popular amongst girls many experience prejudice and discrimination.[10][11] [12]
