Head coach Lars Kim Björkegren and his team have been camped in Morocco ahead of the tournament, fine-tuning their strategies with a series of friendly matches.
Ghana began their build-up with a 3-1 victory over Malawi last Saturday, followed by an impressive 4-2 win against Benin on Wednesday.
However, their momentum was halted in the final warm-up fixture, as they succumbed to a strong Super Falcons side.
Goals from Chinwendu Ihezuo, Asisat Oshoala, and Rasheedat Ajibade sealed the win for Nigeria, while Alice Kusi grabbed a consolation goal for the Black Queens.
With their friendly matches now concluded, the Black Queens will shift focus to the WAFCON tournament, scheduled to run from July 5 to 26 in Morocco.
Making their return to the continental showpiece for the first time since 2018, Ghana have been drawn into Group C alongside reigning champions South Africa, Mali, and Tanzania.
Coach Björkegren is expected to unveil his final squad for the tournament on July 1.
