As part of our strategy to enhance growth in women’s football, we are proud to introduce two young girls as hosts for the Women’s Football Festival on Sunday, May 18, 2025.
The two young girls, Nana Ama Amponsah and Michelle Anyankwabea Ampofo, will serve as host and anchors for the pre-match discussion and the post-match press conference for the Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League final between Ampem Darkoa Ladies and Police Ladies.
Nana Ama Amponsah, 11, is a Stage 5 pupil at Seed of Faith School in Accra. She is the winner of Season One of the Young Public Speakers program, a reality show for primary school pupils. Nana Ama is a Tourism Ambassador and has shared the same stage with former President H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and former Second Lady Samira Bawumia on two occasions. She also shared the stage with President of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) Bessa Simon, Hiplife Grandpapa Reggie Rockstone, and Singer, Song Writer, and Actress, Efya during the West African Music Festival organized by the Ghana Tourism Authority in 2024.
Michel Anyankwabea Ampofo is a 9-year-old pupil in Basic 3 at Unique Child Academy in Haatso.
The Ghana Football Association continues to pursue its policy of developing more girls and women to take over every aspect of women’s football development and encouraging more girls into the game through its Women’s Football Strategy pillar of increasing women’s participation in football.
Football Festivals, like the previous edition held in Kumasi, bring together girls from numerous primary schools to play, enjoy football, make friends, and learn about the sport. These events feature various women in football, including legends and role models, who participate in programs and projects such as women’s refereeing, coaching, ex-national team players, women’s administrators, and women in sports journalism.
The 2024/25 Women’s Football Festival will take place at the University of Ghana Stadium on Sunday, May 18, 2025. The festival will feature the final of the Women’s FA Cup between Jonina Ladies and Faith Ladies at 3 pm, while Ampem Darkoa Ladies and Police Ladies will clash in the Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League final at 6 pm.
