Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Okoro, who made a promise to the Black Queens weeks ago in Ivory Coast during WAFU Women’s Cup of Nations, will honor it on Thursday at the Tang Palace, Accra.
The award-winning actress surprised the Black Queens with a $ 500 donation after beating Senegal 2-0. Impressed with the Team’s performance, Miss Okoro made the $10,000 pledge, which was aimed at urging the team to qualify out of the Group stages.
The Queens could not defend the WAFU Women’s Cup of Nations title after finishing third. They lost to rivals Nigeria on penalties in the semi-finals before beating Mali in a marathon penalty shootouts to win bronze
