ACCRA, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- The 11th edition of the Africa Women's Cup of Nations (AWCON) kicked off in style at the national sports stadium in Accra on Saturday.

Several guests and dignitaries including Ghana's First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo witnessed the opening ceremony which also featured music from young Ghanaian talents and displayed the rich Ghanaian culture to the rest of the world.
