The players of the Black Queens
Newly-appointed Black Queens coach, Kim Björkegren, has unveiled his squad for the upcoming friendly against Morocco, with one notable omission — Freda Ayisi.
The experienced player’s exclusion has raised eyebrows as Björkegren prepares to test his squad against the North Africans on Friday, February 21, 2025, at the Père Jégo Stadium in Casablanca.
Among the key names in the squad are Doris Boaduwaa of Hapoel Jerusalem Katamon, goalkeeper Cynthia Fiindib of Swieqi United, Grace Asantewaa of FC Juárez, and team captain, Portia Boakye.
Björkegren has also handed a debut call-up to Josephine Bonsu Kyerewaa, a German-born Ghanaian forward who plays in the Frauen-Bundesliga for FC Carl Zeiss Jena.
The friendly against Morocco serves as a crucial test for Björkegren, providing an opportunity to assess his squad’s strengths and weaknesses.
With WAFCON 2025 fast approaching and the Black Queens drawn in Group C alongside heavyweights South Africa, Mali, and Tanzania, this match will offer valuable insights into the team’s readiness for the tournament.
