Former African Women Footballer of the Year, Adjoa Bayor, is set to hang up her international boots after playing in her 7th African Women’s Championships.
Bayor was part of the Ghana team that crashed out of the tournament in South Africa at the group stages and is now due to announce her retirement in the coming days according to the Ghana New Agency.
She will go out as one of the best female players Ghana has ever produced after playing in every single women’s championships Ghana has qualified for.
But she only got into the last tournament after widespread pressure on coach Anthony Adusei.
She was crowned African Women’s Footballer of the Year in 2003 with former Ghana coach Emmanuel Afranie describing her as possessing ‘skills that marks her out as the Abedi Pele of women’s football in Ghana’.
