Ghana’s senior women’s national team, the Black Queens, will take on Morocco’s Atlas Lionesses in an international friendly later this month as part of preparations for the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The match is scheduled for Friday, February 21, at the Père Jégo Stadium in Casablanca.
This encounter will also mark the debut of Ghana’s new head coach, Kim Lars Björkegren, who was appointed last month. The Swedish tactician takes over from Nora Häuptle, whose contract was not renewed following the conclusion of her tenure.
The Black Queens have been inactive since suffering a 4-0 defeat to Japan in an international friendly in July 2024. Planned matches against Senegal and Tunisia were canceled due to financial constraints.
For Björkegren, this fixture will provide a vital opportunity to evaluate his squad as Ghana prepares for its first WAFCON appearance since 2018.
