Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Björkegren has named Ghana’s 25-player squad for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) tournament in Morocco.
The Swedish tactician named a core of the squad that finished third at the 2024 TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
A squad laced with youth and experience will hope to draw inspiration from their upsurge of fine form in friendly games.
The squad includes three goalkeepers: Afia Amenyeku of FK Apolonia, Cynthia Konlan Fiindib of Samatex Ladies and Osman Huzeimah of Jonina Ladies.
In defence, Björkegren has named Abena Anoma Opoku, Alex Tay, Anasteshia Achiaa, Benedicte Simon, Comfort Yeboah, Josephine Bonsu, captain Portia Boakye and Susan Amaduah.
The midfield and attacking departments feature several familiar names within the Black Queens setup, including Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah, Evelyn Badu, Grace Asantewaa, Princella Adubea, Jennifer Cudjoe, Princess Marfo, Stella Nyamekye, Alice Kusi, Linda Owusuansah, Wasima Mohammed and Sharon Sampson.
Doris Boaduwaa, Abi Kim and Ajegipina Zakaria will form the fulcrum in attack.
The Black Queens have been drawn in Group D alongside Cameroon, Mali and Cape Verde, with the group stage scheduled to run from July 26 to August 6.
