Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren has expressed confidence ahead of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), pledging that his team will aim for an even stronger performance.
Ghana has been drawn in Group D alongside Cameroon, Mali, and Cape Verde. Bjorkegren, who led the Queens to a bronze medal in the previous edition, said the squad is focused on achieving a better finish this time.
“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 top two teams from each group will progress to the quarterfinals, with semifinalists also securing qualification for the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
The Black Queens will be based in Fes for the group stage of the competition.
