The senior female national team, Black Queens, made a losing start to the maiden edition of WAFU Women’s Cup campaign after losing by a lone goal to host nation, Ivory Coast.
A 70th minute strike by the Nina Zote Kpaho was what gifted them all three points in the highly competitive match played at the Champroux Stadium at Marcoury province on Wednesday, February 14.
