Kofi Adams has expressed deep concern over the safety of the Black Queens as escalating tensions in the Middle East affect their current situation, highlighting the urgent need to prioritize player welfare.
The Minister for Sports and Recreation revealed that logistical challenges are compounding the risks, particularly with airport closures limiting the possibility of evacuation.
“Our problem now is the fact that the airports are even shut so you can’t evacuate anyone, you can only give them a safe place to be,” Adams stated, underlining the seriousness of the circumstances.
The comments reflect the Minister’s focus on ensuring that the players are kept safe while authorities monitor the situation. While the team continues to operate abroad, the lack of immediate exit options has forced reliance on secure locations to protect them from potential harm.
Adams’ remarks signal the need for proactive planning and contingency measures for national teams operating in volatile regions. For the Black Queens, the priority is clear: safety above all else, with decisions being guided by both caution and practical limitations.
Supporters and stakeholders are likely to follow developments closely as Ghanaian sports authorities work to safeguard their athletes in a challenging environment. The Minister’s intervention underscores the government’s commitment to player welfare even amidst international crises.
