Rwanda’s women’s national team head coach, Grace Nyinawumuntu, has faced suspension by the national federation following her comments about Ghanaian rivals after her team’s defeat.
Rwanda suffered a 7-0 loss against Ghana’s Black Queens at the Kigali Pele Stadium during the first leg of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier (WAFCON) on Wednesday. In a post-match statement, Nyinawumuntu expressed that her team had been overwhelmed by the physicality of the Ghanaian players.
She stated, “They have girls who we think have male hormones. They are girls who are like men. Our team was scared… when they got to the pitch, they conceded because they were scared.”
However, Rwanda’s football federation (Ferwafa) issued a statement confirming that the coach had been “suspended until further notice due to her inappropriate choice of language following the game between Rwanda and Ghana.”
