The Black Queens of Ghana have set up a date with Algeria in the quarter-finals of the WAFCON
The Black Queens of Ghana have set up a date with Algeria in the quarter-finals of the 2024 CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The senior women’s national team of Ghana booked a place in the knockout stage of the ongoing tournament in Morocco after finishing second in Group C.
The Queens kicked off their campaign at the WAFCON with a 2-0 defeat to defending champions South Africa.
After that setback, the team faced off with Mali in what was a very tough encounter. Despite creating so many chances, the Queens had to settle for a 1-1 draw with the opponent at full-time.
Today, the Black Queens needed to beat Tanzania in their final Group C match or risk going home early.
Led by coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren, the team put up a spirited performance to romp past the opponent with an emphatic 4-1 victory.
Securing all three points ensured that Ghana finished second in Group C and advanced to the quarter-finals, where the team will now take on Algeria on Saturday, July 19.
