Black Queens coach Kim Lars Björkegren has voiced strong confidence in his squad’s progress ahead of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
The Swedish tactician, who took over from Nora Hauptle last year, spoke on the team’s prospects as Ghana prepares to face Mali, Cameroon, and Cape Verde in Group D.
Björkegren, who led the Black Queens to a third-place finish in the previous WAFCON, said the team has been steadily improving and believes they can challenge for the title.
“We have shown that we keep moving in the right direction the whole time. If we do that, we have the potential to go all the way in the tournament,” he said.
The WAFCON format allows the top two teams from each group to qualify for the quarterfinals, with the four semifinalists earning spots at the Women’s World Cup.
