Ghana’s Black Queens are entering the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco with confidence and ambition, according to GFA President Kurt Okraku.
Drawn into a challenging Group D alongside Cameroon, Mali, and Cape Verde, the Queens face a stern test, but Okraku insists past performances have prepared them for the challenge.
Reflecting on Ghana’s third-place finish at the 2024 WAFCON, also hosted in Morocco, Okraku said the team has proven it can compete with Africa’s best.
“On the back of the fact that Ghana were third at the last WAFCON, Ghana should be ready to face any opponent," Okraku told reporters.
"The Black Queens should be able to play against any side on the African continent if you want to become a champion."
The tournament presents not only a chance for continental glory but also a pathway back to the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
A semi-final finish guarantees qualification, something Ghana has not achieved since 2007. Having reached the semis last time, the Queens aim to go a step further and secure a first-ever WAFCON title.
Scheduled from March 17 to April 3, 2026, the competition promises weeks of high-quality football and intense battles.
