The Black Queens will be thrown out of the 2018 Africa Women’s Nations (AWCON), after Ghana lost its hosting rights for the continental showpiece. It is understood the Confederation of African Football (CAF) is hunting for a new host nation for the competition, having enquired from Kenya about its availability, but the East Africa Nation have refused to accept the offer. The new host will replace the Ghana, unless one of the seven (7) nations that have already qualified for the AWCON accept to host the it. In this case CAF could consider Ghana.
Ghana will also be out of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup to be staged in France: The 2018 Africa Women’s Nations (AWCON) is also an avenue to determine Africa’s representatives in the upcoming Women’s World Cup.

It would be the end of the current Black Queens: The Black Queens disqualification from the 2018 Africa Women’s Championship, coupled with the 2019 FIFA World Cup in France means, the playing body would be inactive.
