Black Queens Coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren Eyes WAFCON Glory
Head coach of the Black Queens, Kim Lars Bjorkegren, has expressed his ambition to lead Ghana to a historic triumph at the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
The senior women’s national team is currently in camp as preparations intensify for the continental tournament, which runs from July 5 to 26.
This year’s edition marks Ghana’s return to the competition for the first time since 2018.
The Black Queens face a tough challenge in the group stage, having been drawn alongside reigning champions South Africa, Tanzania, and Mali.
Despite the stiff competition, Bjorkegren remains confident in his team’s potential.
“For me, it is simple to win the gold medal. You need to take it step by step, and I know we are not going to be a favourite for people outside of Ghana,” he told 3Sports.
“There are some 5 nations that have a better chance of winning it. We need to qualify from the group stage. From there, it’s 3 games and I know we can do it,” he added.
The 2025 WAFCON promises high-stakes action as top African nations battle for continental supremacy in Morocco.
