Black Queens to face Morocco in friendly
By Lukman MUMIN, Accra
Morocco’s senior women’s national team has announced an international friendly against Ghana later this month.
The Atlas Lionesses will host the Black Queens as part of their preparations ahead of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) tournament.
The game is expected to be staged on Friday, February 21, at the Pere Jego Stadium in Casablanca.
The game will also be the first for Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren who was announced as the new gaffer last month.
The Swedish replaced Nora Hauptle who failed to extend her stay as the Queens head coach.
The Ghana women’s national team are yet to play any game since their defeat to Japan in an international friendly in July 2024.
The Queens missed out on friendlies against Senegal and Tunisia in the latter part of last year due to lack of funds. The game is also a preparatory ground for Bjorkegren as he looks to firm up his squad for Ghana’s WAFCON participation for the first time since 2018.
