Former Black Queens coach, Mercy Tagoe, has advised female footballers to plan their lives after football while still actively playing.<\/p>\n
The former footballer set herself as an example to emulate while advising Women\u2019s Premier League players at the GFA-Malta Guinness workshop on Wednesday, June 26, 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all about planning. Before I end one activity, another has already started. I really needed the transition to be smooth and not to end one activity and wonder what to do next,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
She further disclosed that her plan for a good life after football influenced her decision to build her first house with the money she earned from the Women\u2019s World Cup in 1999.<\/p>\n
\u201cI built my first house with the money I earned from my first World Cup in the USA. It\u2019s about planning. Even though I couldn\u2019t finish it, I got it to a good level before I later completed it. All this while, I was working with the national service.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn as much as I was playing, I was thinking about what to do after football,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n
Tagoe is the only Ghanaian footballer who transitioned from playing football to becoming a referee and later a coach.<\/p>\n
The Malta Guinness and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) workshop, dubbed \u2018Life Outside Football Capacity Workshop,\u2019 aimed at educating Ghanaian footballers on how to manage their finances to ensure a stable future.<\/p>\n
Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo was a guest speaker alongside Neil Armstrong-Mortagbe, the head of Public Relations and Strategy at the GFA.<\/p>\n
