Some players of the Black Queens at training
The Black Queens have completed their final training session ahead of their crucial third-place playoff against South Africa at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Ghana will face the defending champions on Friday, July 25, 2025, at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca.
The match offers a chance for the Queens to claim a bronze medal after their heartbreaking semi-final exit in the hands of hosts Morocco.
The Queens bowed out of the title race following a tense 1-1 draw that ended in a 4-2 penalty shootout defeat to Morocco on Tuesday, July 22, 2025.
The result dashed Ghana’s hopes of lifting a first-ever WAFCON trophy.
Friday’s clash is a rematch of their group-stage encounter where South Africa beat Ghana 2-0.
In footage shared by the team’s official page, the players were put through their final paces with passing, shooting, and fitness drills.
Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, was present at the training ground and offered words of encouragement as the team looks to finish the tournament on a high.
