The kiosk she lives in is made partly from wood and an old advertising banner.

This comes as a shock to many since she had a good career during her active playing days.

But Memunatu said she did not make so much money from her football career, which has led to her current situation.

Memunatu played over 30 matches for the Black Queens. She played for Ghana at its first appearance in the Women’s World Cup.

She was also part of the Black Queens teams that featured at the 1999, 2003, and 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup tournaments.

She assisted with the draw for the 2018 Women’s African Cup hosted in Ghana at the invitation of the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

In 2020, she was named a member of the technical team of Ghana’s U17 female national team, the Black Maidens.
