The Ghana women’s national team, the Black Queens, will take on England’s Lionesses in a high-profile international friendly on December 2, 2025.
The fixture was confirmed following an agreement between the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the England Football Association.
Fresh from a historic run to the semi-finals of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) — their first since 2016 — the Black Queens are determined to build on their momentum and solidify their place among Africa’s elite sides.
The match against England, reigning European champions and one of the world’s top-ranked teams, will form part of Ghana’s preparations for upcoming international competitions, including the 2026 WAFCON.
Head coach Kim Lars Björkegren described the friendly as an invaluable opportunity to measure the team’s progress, expose players to world-class opposition, and identify areas for improvement.
“This game provides the perfect test of our tactical growth and resilience. Playing a side of England’s caliber will help us assess our readiness for the challenges ahead,” he noted.
The Black Queens are expected to approach the encounter with strong motivation — not only to test their development but also to demonstrate Ghana’s growing presence in women’s football on the global stage.
With the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifiers on the horizon, the clash will serve as a crucial gauge of character, tactical discipline, and competitive spirit.
