Ghanaian actress and radio/TV presenter Naa Ashorkor is calling on women to encourage their husbands and boyfriends to throng to the stadia during women’s football games.

Speaking to TV3, Naa Ashorkor was of the view that women are not doing enough to encourage their spouses and boyfriends to support women’s football. She also added that men go the extent of getting their wives and girlfriends to support the Black Stars and even the English teams in the Barclays Premier League.

“It’s very obvious how the men in Ghana support the Black Stars with so much passion,” she noted, “They go all out and get their girlfriends to support the Black Stars too and even get them to support some particular English teams too”.

“If women in Ghana support the Black Queens and go all out to watch their matches and tweet, put up their photos on instagram, write about them on facebook etc, we will or they will feel the support and it will be a different kind of support”.

“If women can get their boyfriends as the men do to support the Black Queens and give them a little more attention than they get, then perhaps they will do better”.
