Jennifer Cudjoe (born 7 March 1994) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Danish Women's League club FC Nordsjælland and the Ghana women's national team.

Club career

Cudjoe signed a short-term contract with Sky Blue FC for the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup. She made her NWSL debut on 30 June 2020.[2]

Cudjoe was selected by Racing Louisville FC in the 2020 NWSL Expansion Draft,[3] but Sky Blue soon acquired her back in a trade.[4]

International career

Cudjoe accepted her first senior team roster selection in July 2023 for the 2024 CAF Women's Olympic qualifying tournament.[5] Ghana had previously offered Cudjoe a spot in 2021, which she declined due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic and that her concerns about Ghana's lack of support for the squad had not been heeded. She had previously appeared for the Ghana under-20 team at the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[6]
