Ghana kicked out of 2014 AWC despite 1-0 win over Cameroon
Ghana have recorded yet another poor campaign at
the African Women’s Championship after suffering
a group stage exit in the 2014 edition in
Namibia.

The Black Queens beat Cameroon 1-0 in their final
Group B match through an Elizabeth Cudjoe striker
but missed out on the semi-finals slot due to the
outcome in the other game.

South Africa, who were chasing the final slot with
Ghana thrashed Algeria 5-1 to qualify with a
better goal difference.

Cameroon had already qualified after winning their
first two matches against South Africa and
Algeria.

Ghana, who are three-time losing finalists in the
history of the competition have now piled up a
list of terrible outings in recent times following
group stage exits in 2008 and 2010. They also
failed to qualify to the 2012 edition.

Nigeria, Ivory Coast, South Africa and Cameroon
complete the roll call for the semi-finals.

The top three teams will represent the continent
at the 2015 Fifa Women’s World Cup in Canada.
