Ghana’s senior women’s national team, the Black Queens, will take on Egypt in the return leg encounter of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifiers at the Accra Sports Stadium on Tuesday.
With a three-goal advantage, the Queens are poised for action as they seek to round up their campaign against a tough opponent to secure a place in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Ghana’s giants would be with key attackers Evelyn Badu and Doris Boaduwaa who are hopeful of increasing their goal tally.
Under the guidance of new Swedish coach Kim Lars Björkegren, the Black Queens have shown renewed tactical discipline, attacking flair, and confidence.
“We respect Egypt, but we are focused on our game. The players are confident, and we want to make our home fans proud,” Coach Björkegren said ahead of the match.
The team’s resurgence comes at a time when the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is enjoying strong corporate backing, notably from telecom giant MTN, whose $2 million sponsorship package supports all four national teams, the Black Stars, Black Queens, Black Satellites, and Black Starlets.
The partnership has provided critical motivation and logistical support that have improved preparations and morale within the national teams.
