According to ghana news agency: victory over South Korea, failing to advance even as one of the best third-placed teams. The final whistle sparked widespread disappointment across the Volta Region, particularly in Ho, the Volta regional capital.
Football fans who had gathered at a pub at Ho-Kpodzi to watch the game were left in utter disbelief as the goals poured in during the second half. 'We really believed this squad could break the jinx this time, especially after the win against South Korea,' George, a taxi driver said. 'To concede four goals in such a crucial game is heartbreaking,' a visibly distraught fan, who refused to give his name to the Ghana News Agency, said. As the reality of the elimination set in, the disappointment quickly turned into a heated blame game among fans.
A significant section of them have directed their anger at the Head Coach. George lambasted the Coach's tactical approach during the match, arguing that the team looked disjointed and failed to adapt when France took control. He told GNA that the Head Coach should be removed immediately, including the entire technical team. Ghana needs a fresh technical direction for women's football, George added.
However, others argue that the root of the problem lies much deeper than the technical bench. Kpormenor, a plumber, pointed fingers directly at the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Ministry of Youth and Sports. He said the Princesses suffered inadequate pre-tournament preparations, alleging that the team was not given the necessary resources, high-profile friendly matches, or logistical support required to compete effectively. With the tournament now over for Ghana, stakeholders are calling for a thorough review of how women's football is managed and financed in the country to prevent another premature exit on the world stage.
