Ex-Black Queens Goalkeeper Receives Two-Bedroom House Paid for by Mahama2 min read
This comes after the ex-head of state offered to provide her with decent accommodation after it came to light that she was living in a wooden kiosk.
Sulemana, who played for Ghana at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, recently opened up on her unfortunate state following her retirement from football.
Sulemana said despite her decorated career, she earned very little while playing football, which has led her to her current situation.
In an interview with Original TV, which was broadcast on YouTube, she confirmed living in a make-shift house at Kaneshie in Accra.

But in a video making the rounds on social media, Sulemana is seen inspecting the apartment rented for her by Mahama before she moves in.
She was also handed an undisclosed amount of money on behalf of the former President to start a business of her choice.
Meanwhile, the former goalkeeper’s deplorable situation came as a shock, especially as she’s been involved in some football-related roles since hanging her gloves.
In 2018, she was invited by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to assist with the draw for that year’s Women’s African Cup of Nations hosted in Ghana.
Two years later, she was also named as a member of the technical team of Ghana’s U17 female national team, the Black Maidens.
Sulemana was appointed as the team’s goalkeepers’ trainer, and later occupied the same role for the Black Queens.
