Support of women was massive during Ghana 2008

Womens pg Feb. 14/2008

It was perhaps, never expected that the support of women will be massive at the just ended Ghana 2008 African Cup of Nations tournament.
But the women supporters surprised all as they were seen at every match in their numbers singing, dancing, shouting and clapping to urge the players on.
From observation, apart from supporting the Black Stars as usual because they are Ghanaians, they also ensured that they cheered all the teams up to give off their best.
What was even more amazing was at the grand finals where Egypt played Cameroun at the Ohene Gyan Stadium.
The women supporters led by their President, Ms Freda Prempeh were at hand to cheer the two teams right from the blast of the whistle and deep into the night after the cup had been presented to Egypt which lifted the trophy for the sixth time after the team pipped Cameroun.
