Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Björkegren has pledged to restore the team’s dominance and make Ghanaians proud.
Ghana’s senior women’s national team is currently in Casablanca, Morocco, gearing up for a friendly match against the Atlas Lionesses later today.
The game serves as part of their preparations for the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) set to take place later this year.
Speaking ahead of the match, the Swedish tactician—who recently signed a two-year contract to replace Nora Hauptle—emphasized the importance of early preparations to build team cohesion for future challenges.
He expressed his ambition to elevate the Black Queens to the top ranks of African football.
“The Women’s Africa Cup of Nations is on the way, and we have the Women’s World Cup in Brazil. We have to start now and make sure we improve each day,” he stated.
“We are going to do everything to make the people proud of the women’s national team… We need to make sure that, in the long run, the Black Queens are a top-four team in Africa,” he added.
The match is set to kick off at 17:00 GMT at the Père Jégo Stadium in Casablanca, followed by another encounter against AS FAR Rabat three days later.
