Black Queens to Play 3 Friendlies Ahead of WAFCON
The Black Queens have three international friendly games this month before the commencement of the Women’s African Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The team is expected to face Malawi, Botswana, and Nigeria, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced in a statement on Friday.
“These fixtures form part of a larger preparation strategy aimed at helping the Queens acclimate, build stronger team cohesion, and fine-tune strategies ahead of the continental showpiece.”
The team will host Malawi at the Ziaida Complex in Benslimane on June 21, before taking on Botswana four days later at the same venue.
The campaign will be wrapped with a game against arch-rivals, the Super Falcons, on Friday, June 29, at the Lanouria Complex in a must-win showdown.
“We want to test ourselves against different playing styles and team dynamics. Malawi and Botswana provide technical and disciplined opposition, while Nigeria offers the challenge of a traditional powerhouse,” Coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren stated.
Meanwhile, the Black Queens opening game against the defending champions South Africa in Group C is scheduled for July 7.
