Kim Bjorkegren Pledges Better WAFCON 2026 Tournament

Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren says his side will look to do better than their performance at the last edition of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

Ghana will return to Morocco for the 2026 edition, which starts in March, after their bronze-medal-winning performance last year.

The draw for this year’s tournament was conducted on Thursday, January 15, with Ghana being drawn alongside Cameroon, Mali and Cape Verde.

Reacting to the draw, Bjorkegren says he’s looking forward to the tournament as the Queens target a ‘better’ finish.

“I am looking forward to the tournament,” he said. “When I came in, we were No.6 in Africa, but now we are No.3, which makes us top-seeded.

“At the end of the day, whether it’s going to help or not, I don’t know. We will face another three really good teams, but as I said, I am looking forward to the tournament.

“We will push to do an even better tournament this time.”

The Black Queens will be based in Fes for the group stage of the tournament.
