"I've played football since I was very young, around four years old, when I saw the boys playing, and one of the dads of the other kids saw my mum and was like: 'Bring her down to the football that the boys do'."

"I am so proud to be Ghanaian."

"My first thought was … to make Ghana be spoken about in a very, very good light in women’s football."

"I hope I can add a lot more … not just goals, but assists, leadership and encouragement."

"My mum has always kept me with my roots, even though she's English. She's always made the African peanut butter soup and the fufu, and eating kenkey and Gari."

"I think we deserve the respect from African football."

"I want to give this continent so much respect, but I also want to gain it. The only way you gain it is by performing, by showing who we are."

"It feels like part of my roots. It feels like a big sense of home away from home. It's like my two homes colliding. Obviously am partly from England and I have half Ghanaian as well, so it's brought me closer to the motherland as I always say, my roots, the people. It feels amazing because everyone's really nice. Yeah, the girls are really welcoming as well, so it's really good."

"From the first day I was a little bit shy. I'm a shy person, but then straight away, I've never been in an environment before where everyone is genuine. Everybody's really grateful and shows positivity and they made me feel like I've been a part of it for a long time."

"Every time I touch the pitch, every time I play football, it's passion because I am filled with passion. I think everyone that sees me play, whether we're chasing the game or we're winning a game, I always have the passion and try and feed that energy from me to other people."

"So, when I'm wearing the Ghana jersey, I'll be bringing that exact same passion, the same desire and the same focus as well to win the games and hopefully do something special with this national team as well."

"It’s up to us as players to raise the standard."

"The support may not be there at the level we want, but when we show quality, passion, and competitiveness on the field, more people will take notice."

"We can’t wait for people to take us seriously — we have to make them see the value."

"We respect our opponents, but we also know what we bring to the table."

"It’s about staying disciplined and playing with heart. We owe it to our fans, our country, and ourselves to fight for every point."

"The future is bright."

"I’m really grateful to win this award two times in a row and to be the top scorer. This only makes me want to do more."

"I thank god for this opportunity to play in the CAF Women’s Champions League. It was a dream that came true and now I just want to achieve more."

"There's no pressure on me at all. Football is just a normal game, with movement and passing."

"I'm very much relaxed and looking forward to the match. Although, it is a crucial match there is no pressure whatsoever on me. I will do my best to help take my team very far in the competition."

"I'm not just the only player in the team, so I have to team up with other members of the squad to push the country very far in the competition."

"As a team, we are determined to give our best to win the match."

"We will make sure we raise high the image of Ghana."

"I don't have specifications, just have money. I don't want those old men who are rich; I want young rich guys. I want the money the young guys have. The boys have money. They ride the big cars in town like Benz and the others."

"We have mentally equipped ourselves for this game after undertaking the essential training, and we are set to perform on Friday."

"First and foremost, I want to extend my gratitude to the coach for the chance he has provided us, the younger players. We have gained a lot from the senior team members, and we continue to learn and develop."

"We want to do the best we can to win it."

"I am very happy, it is not just about my performance but the total contribution from the entire team. They fought for the badge and made Ghana proud. I am really excited."

"When I was coming on, I told myself even if it is for only two minutes I will make use of it and that is what I did when I was coming on."

"I can’t wait to play on a team that has been so successful over recent seasons and alongside incredible players I’ve admired from afar. I’m ready to work hard and embrace the challenge ahead. See you all soon!"

"I’m ready for this challenge."

"The team’s success and the players here are incredible, and I’m excited to contribute and learn from them."

"We are still learning and growing as well. From the Under 17 youth level to the Black Queens, I think there is a lot of difference between and I think the senior players especially Portia, Alice Kusi, Jennifer Cudjoe, Grace Asantewaa they are helping us a lot. They have been with us on and off the field so we are really grateful and happy with that."

"Training has been really serious, it's been very detailed, and we can't wait to start the game because we know how important this game is for us and I believe with the preparation that we would go far."

"Obviously, the fans would play a big impact in our performance so we pary that they have hope in us to pray for us and yeah, we will do our best to deliver."

"I have a huge desire to come back and play and to become even better than I was when I left. I’ve come back to stay, and I feel a great sense of calm and patience."

"It’s been a hectic year and a half, but I’ve learned an incredible amount about myself, become more mature, and gained a patience I perhaps didn’t have before."

"That’s why I also associate it with family and togetherness, and that’s what I need right now."

"I'm looking forward to doing my best every day on the field to serve the country."

"Not my finest tournament, but still a memorable one!"

"I’m grateful we managed to secure the bronze medal in my AWCON debut. I apologize to my fans for not quite living up to expectations I know I’m capable of more, and I promise to bounce back stronger."

"To those who supported me through the ups and downs, thank you for your encouragement and prayers. Your words kept me going, and I’m honored to have such a loyal fanbase."

"I’ll be back, and next time, I’ll make sure to bring the goals!"

"What started as a dream will now become a reality and congratulations to all of us."

"In the previous squads, I was one of the youngest and had the chance to learn a lot from the experienced players. Now, I’m one of the oldest and the longest-serving, so I’ve taken on the responsibility of mentoring the younger ones, which I really enjoy."

"Ghana is blessed with a lot of female talent, and that remains consistent."

"WAFCON is the biggest women’s football competition in Africa. It’s always a great opportunity to play on such a huge stage, and I’m super excited to represent Ghana again."

"It’s always a great feeling to represent your country."

"Out of so many female footballers, to be chosen to play at such a big tournament is a huge honour. Women’s football is loved by many, and we know a lot of people will be watching us."
