The Black Queens are intensifying their preparations for the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) with a pair of friendly matches against Cote d’Ivoire. As head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren finalizes his strategies, he’s named a squad that blends seasoned veterans with promising new faces. These matches offer a crucial opportunity to solidify team cohesion and fine-tune tactics. The focus remains on ensuring the Black Queens are primed for a successful WAFCON campaign. These friendly games are pivotal in shaping the team’s readiness.

Ghana will face Cote d’Ivoire in two friendly encounters as part of their WAFCON preparations. This marks the third friendly for the team under Coach Bjorkegren, following previous matches against Morocco and Senegal. The squad largely mirrors the group that participated in the Senegal training camp, providing continuity and familiarity as the Black Queens build towards the tournament.

Coach Bjorkegren’s selection includes some fresh talent eager to prove their mettle. Ampem Darkoa Ladies’ Nancy Amoh and Northern Ladies goalkeeper Afi Amenyaku have both received their first national team call-ups. These players impressed the technical team during a recent GFA Technical Centre camp in Prampram, earning their chance to represent the Black Queens on the international stage. Their inclusion signals a commitment to scouting and developing domestic talent.

Abigail Kofi Kim, who plays for Ankara BB Fomget, and Louisa Animwaa of Valadares have also received their debut call-ups, expanding the pool of players available to Coach Bjorkegren. In addition to the new faces, Grace Acheampong (TP Mazembe) and Alice Kusi (Al Ahli) are making a return to the squad, bringing valuable experience and adding depth to the team’s options. These players have previously represented the Black Queens and will be looking to make an impact upon their return.

The Black Queens will face “Les Éléphants” on May 30, with the second match scheduled for June 3. These matches will provide a valuable test for the team, allowing Coach Bjorkegren to assess different combinations and strategies ahead of WAFCON. The coaching staff will be closely monitoring player performances as they seek to refine their approach and identify the strongest possible squad for the tournament.

The upcoming friendlies against Cote d’Ivoire are crucial for the Black Queens as they finalize their preparations for WAFCON. With a mix of experienced players and exciting new talent, Coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren is aiming to solidify the team’s strategies and build momentum. The inclusion of Nancy Amoh, Afi Amenyaku, and other debutants adds depth and dynamism to the squad, providing the team with additional options and tactical flexibility. All eyes will be on the Black Queens as they seek to make a strong statement in these preparatory matches, setting the stage for a successful WAFCON campaign. The Ghana Football Association will release the full squad list on ghanafa.org.
