Black Queens beat Cameroon to clinch gold

Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has announced he will be presenting a special reward to the Black Queens for clinching gold at the 2015 All Africa Games on his birthday November 22.

Gyan will be hosting another A-list party at his Basilica de Baby Jet residence when he turns 30.

The Shanghai SIPG ace will be using the special occasion to redeem a pledge made to the national women’s team for their historic gold-winning feat at the 2015 All Africa Games.

“There will be so many things going on at the party and there is a surprise I will give to the team [the Black Queens],” Gyan told AsamoahGyan3.com.

“My birthday will be on the 22nd of November and I have invited the Black Queens to deliver my special package to them.”

Asamoah Gyan donated $10,000 to the team prior to their campaign at the All Africa Games in Congo Brazzaville following an interaction with the players.

The Black Stars captain revealed he detected some discomfort amongst the playing body hence his decision to make the donation as his way of motivating the side to achieve greatness.

“First of all when they [Black Queens] came to the camp, we had dinner and everything was ok,” he recalled.

“We were cracking jokes and they were happy to see the Black Stars players but I was so observant and I was watching their reaction.

“I saw sadness on their faces and I could see they were not happy and therefore I had to ask what was going on.

“There I was told what was going on in their camp which I don’t want to talk about but all that I will say is that the players were very very sad.

“And as a footballer I don’t like to see a fellow player being sad.

“After the donation you could see the joy on the faces of the players and all they said was that they were going to win the cup.

“At that moment you could see that their spirits at that moment was very very high. So I also felt it, I felt so felt they were going to win the cup.

“There is always a reason. Maybe I would say I was their guardian angel because most of them wanted to leave the camp because they were not happy.

“We give thanks to God and yes, I have got a package for them. I would do what I have to do to also show appreciation.”

Yusif Basigi's side braved a difficult start to progress all the way to the finals where they beat Cameroon 1-0 to make history by clinching Ghana's first gold in the women's soccer division at the games.
