The Ghanéennes armband holder has already scored three goals in two days of CAN. This midfielder has been illustrated since the beginning of the event by an unlimited commitment. Portrait of the centerpiece of the Black Queens of Ghana.

Ghana can be proud of its captain. Elizabeth Addo illuminates with her talent the participation of the Black Queens in the 10th edition of the African Cup of Nations of women's football. She stood out in the first two games played by Ghana's national team. The midfielder has already scored 3 goals. In the match of the first day played against Kenya, she opened her meter by converting a penalty in the 71st minute. 20 minutes later, the member of the Swedish club Kvarnsvedens Ik gives the victory to his selection. She did not change her good habits during the shock of November 23, 2016 against the great rival of Nigeria. It is still she who signs the equalizer in the 44th minute by putting at the bottom of the nets nets a penalty ball. Elizabeth Addo is still credited with a full match. A regular and important slaughter that makes her nickname "the lady with four lungs". A debauch of exemplary energy that can justify his status as leader of the group that manages the coach Yussif Basigi.

Addo is above all a determined player. Ready to give the best of herself to win the matches she is fighting. The 23-year-old's words still echo the heads of the journalists present at the pre-match conference on November 22, 2016. The carrier of bib number 18 declared in particular about the match that was to oppose Ghana to dreaded Nigeria , the defender of Mali two days earlier on the score of 6-0: "all we know is that we want to win". Certainly laurels are to be expected for the fantastic Addo at the end of the CAN 2016. Is not she already nominated for the trophy of best player of the Swedish championship in 2016? A reward for this young person who has been playing since 2003 would not surprise.

The versatile player (she is sometimes defender) makes her weapons at Tesano Ladies Fc, then joins the Athleta Ladies Fc still in Ghana. She then joins Nigeria where she joins the River Angels. With this great club, Elizabeth Addo won two league titles in 2013 and 2014. After a brief return to her country in 2014, she left for Serbia where she became a player of Zfk Spartak Subotican. The Balazs Domyei of Hungary welcomes him. With this club, she won the championship and the Cup in 2016. Her career will then lead her to Germany and Sweden. There she has already scored 5 times in 8 games played for the Kvarnsvedens IK. She is voted best player of the championship for the month of September 2016.

The Addo international career started with the selection of under 14s. She then took part in the World Cup of the category that welcomes Switzerland in 2007. Already captain, she leads her team to the final. Elizabeth Addo will also be captain of the Ghana team at the Under-17 World Cup in New Zealand in 2008. She is also assistant captain of the "Black Maidens" under 17 at the Cup. Women's World Cup 2010. Addo was also in the Women's Under-20 World Cup organized by Germany in 2010 and at the U-20 Women's World Cup that Japan hosted in 2012. A rather exceptional course 'is this not ?
