GWPL 22: Ampem Darkoa Ladies Qualify for CAF Women’s Champions League After Defeating Hasaacas Ladies

Ampem Darkoa Ladies have emerged champions of the Ghana Women’s Premier League after beating Hasaacas Ladies in the grand finale.

Their victory meant that they have sealed an enviable spot in the CAF Women’s Champions League, which will take place later this year, 2022.

The Techiman-based club got the better of the game over the defending champions Hasaacas Ladies during Saturday’s final at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Ampem Darkoa fell behind in the first half after conceding a penalty which was expertly converted by Hasaacas Ladies’ Success Ameyaa.

However, Ampem Darkoa Ladies fought their way back into the game and restored parity in the 25th minute, thanks to another well-converted penalty by Comfort Yeboah.

Ampem Darkoa then went on to be crowned Women’s Premier League champions after triumphing 5-4 on penalties after extra time (120 minutes of action).

Meanwhile, some Ghana football fans on twitter have criticized the quality of medals given to finalists of the 2021/2022 Ghana Women’s Premier League.

It will be recalled that last year, the same situation occurred when Hearts of Oak were crowned Ghana Premier League champions.

The Phobians romped to the league title in July following a perfect season which saw them get the better of their rivals.

Samuel Boadu’s side completed a historic double when they defeated Ashanti Gold on penalties to win the FA Cup. The medals given to the club for winning the league and FA Cup were, however, of low quality, leading to a backlash by fans.

In the wake of the low-quality medals handed to Ampem Darkoa, conversations have once again erupted over the topic.

Handing out such medals in today’s 2022 is a big shame to the Ghana Football Association. They deserve to bury their hands in their faces for this shameful act.
