Head coach Kim Lars Björkegren has named a 24-player squad for the Black Queens’ upcoming international friendlies against Côte d’Ivoire, scheduled for May 30 and June 3, 2025.
These matches are part of Ghana’s preparations for the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), which will be held in Morocco from July 5 to 26.
The two fixtures will be the Black Queens’ third friendlies of the year, following their previous match against Senegal in April.
Notable inclusions in the squad are Ampem Darkoa Ladies midfielder Nancy Amoh and Northern Ladies goalkeeper Afi Amenyaku, both earning their first senior call-ups after impressing the technical team during the recent training camp at the GFA Technical Centre in Prampram.
Also receiving maiden call-ups are Abigail Kofi Kim of Ankara BB Fomget and former Black Princesses defender Louisa Animwaa, who currently plays for Valadares in Portugal.
Meanwhile, experienced duo Grace Acheampong (TP Mazembe) and Alice Kusi (Al Ahli) return to the squad after being absent from previous selections.
The Black Queens will face “Les Éléphants” of Côte d’Ivoire in the first match on May 30, with the second encounter scheduled for June 3.
