Afi Amenyeku's Remarkable Journey to UEFA Champions League. Historic Qualification Afi Amenyeku, the talented goalkeeper for the Ghana Black Queens, has recently achieved a significant milestone by qualifying with her club, Apollonia, for the next year’s UEFA Champions League competition. This accomplishment comes shortly after she secured a Silver medal in the Albanian Cup just a week ago. Her stellar performance in the first game against their fierce rivals, Gramshi, where Apollonia won 2-1, laid the foundation for their success. In the return leg, Afi's crucial saves ensured a goalless draw, cementing their place in the finals of the Albania League playoffs for the 2025/2026 League season. This qualification marks a momentous achievement for Afi, as she continues to shine on the European stage. Afi's Football Journey Afi joined FK Apollonia Women in Albania from Ghana Premier League side Northern Ladies FC, shortly after winning the bronze medal with Ghana’s Black Queens at the WAFCON in Morocco in 2025. Her journey from Ghana to Albania has been marked by dedication and excellence, reflecting her exceptional skills and leadership on the field. At Apollonia, she has been joined by fellow Ghanaians Georgina Ameyaa, Esther Owusu, and Afia Nyarko, all of whom have contributed to the team's successful season. Major Achievements Afi Amenyeku’s career is adorned with numerous accolades: Gold Medal at the 2023 African Games: As captain, she led the Black Princesses to victory, with the team remaining unbeaten throughout the competition. A memorable highlight was their comeback win against Nigeria in the final, where her sister, Mukarama Abdulai, scored the decisive goal. WAFU Zone B U-20 Women’s Cup: Afi not only won gold but was also named the tournament's best goalkeeper, earning the Golden Glove. Her penalty-shootout saves in the final against Nigeria were pivotal to the team’s success.
