Doris Boaduwaa announced herself on the international stage with a match-winning tournament — and a golden boot to show for it.
The Black Queens forward finished as the top scorer at the 2026 Pink Ladies Cup, netting three goals across the competition to claim the prestigious award. It was a performance that underlined exactly why she is considered one of Ghana’s most dangerous attackers.
Boaduwaa opened her account with a goal against Hong Kong before turning in a standout display against Russia, scoring twice to help Ghana to a dominant victory. Three goals, two matches, one statement.
Her clinical finishing and consistent attacking threat throughout the tournament made her the standout forward in the competition — and the Golden Boot the natural reward.
The achievement arrives at an important moment for the Black Queens, who are building momentum ahead of upcoming international competitions. A tournament win for Boaduwaa personally — and a strong showing from the team collectively — adds confidence and form to a squad with ambitions that stretch well beyond this competition.

For Boaduwaa herself, the Golden Boot adds to a growing list of honours. The Hapoel Jerusalem FC forward was named Ghana Female Footballer of the Year for 2024/2025, and performances like this one explain why. She remains the Black Queens’ most potent attacking threat — sharp, clinical, and increasingly difficult to contain.
The Golden Boot is the latest chapter. It won’t be the last.
