Black Queens head coach Lars Kim Björkegren has described the path to qualifying for the 2028 Olympic Games as “really tough” but says he “believes in the girls” to get the job done.

The Queens strolled past Mauritius 10-0 to progress to the next phase and now will face Zambia in the third round, scheduled for 23 February to 6 March 2027.

“We have the potential to go all the way,” Björkegren said.

“In football, there is no easy game, especially when it comes to qualifying for the Olympics, as only two countries from Africa will go to Los Angeles.

“It is really tough to get there; we need to win. I believe in the girls, and I think we [will] be there.”

The Black Queens have never qualified for the Olympic Games in the country’s history.

Just two slots are available for African teams.
