    Amazing video! A beautiful thing to see these African players inspire more girls and boys from their homes and across the globe with their passion and talent :') coming from a Bay FC fan who is obsessed with Racheal Kundananji , Asisat Oshoala, and Princess

    Great job on this video! I've been watching so much of the African Female Football and I am so happy for all these players! Africa's female football has been amazing to watch! I will forever be a Copper Queen's fan! Barbra Banda is one of the GOAT's in Football and she will continue to make history just like the rest of these players! I really want her or Chawinga to win the Golden Boat Race so we can have an African Woman be on the list!
    Also want to add on, Ghana's Womens Football is really good! They gave Zambia a very tough match in the Olympics Qualifying, I would love to see them qualify for the FIFA Women's World Cup!

      Thanks for watching! Yes it's been so fun to see the African women's football improve! And yes Ghana vs. Zambia was such a fun match. I think when they increase number of teams at the World Cup, it will give countries like Ghana more of a chance to qualify, which will be great for the competition!

    The African players have been such a joy to watch. The NWSL is way better with them.

    To be fair to scouts, it’s truly difficult to travel in Africa compared to many places. I assumed you’d be able to fly between countries like you would states, but you can’t really. You have to fly all the way to Europe or Egypt to catch a flight to another African country. So even if scouts wanted to travel there, it would be expensive and complicated.

      Thanks for your comments and 100%. I think that's why big men's teams just hire scouts to live in Africa because the travel is crazy. And wofo isn't ready financially to have scouts living there. So it's definitely tough, but I'm glad more players are finding ways to get recognized anyways!
