I am proud to be a woman, watching these ladies display skill and ability that are even rare to see in the men's game.

My call is to governments and big companies in Africa to grant women's football more support.

When our national U-20 team was to play Algeria in the Fifa World Cup qualifiers, the government said they didn't have any money.

Early development of the women's game at the time colonial powers brought football to the continent was limited as colonial powers in the region tended to take make concepts of patriarchy and women's participation in sport with them to local cultures that had similar concepts already embedded in them.

[3] The lack of later development of the national team on a wider international level symptomatic of all African teams is a result of several factors, including limited access to education, poverty amongst women in the wider society, and fundamental inequality present in the society that occasionally allows for female specific human rights abuses.

[4] When quality female football players are developed, they tend to leave for greater opportunities abroad.

[5] Continent wide, funding is also an issue, with most development money coming from FIFA, not the national football association.

[7] In 2009, the organization did not have any full-time staff members specifically dedicated to assisting women's football.

She has also served as the Match Commissioner of CAF and FIFA, and Vice President of the West African Football Union (WAFU).

[6] On 18 February 2007 in a game in Monrovia, Liberia lost to Ethiopia women's national football team 0–3 after having been down 0–1 at the half.

[13] On 10 March in a game in Addis Abeba, Liberia lost to Ethiopia 0–2 after being down 0–1 at the half.

[7] Between 2002 and 2010 in the FIFA Women U19/U20 World Cup, a U19 event up until 2006 when it became U20, the country participated in the qualifying tournament.

[22] A woman's team from the country competed at the 2011 Cup of African Nations for Amputee Football.
