Ghana’s Black Queens are set to face Egypt in the decisive final qualifying round for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The Queens, who returned to WAFCON in Morocco in 2024 for the first time since 2018, secured third place under head coach Kim Lars Björkegren after defeating South Africa in the bronze medal playoff. Nigeria’s Super Falcons claimed the title that year.
Next month, Ghana will regroup to challenge Egypt’s Cleopatras in a two-legged tie, with the first leg scheduled to take place in Cairo. The aggregate winner will secure a place at the 2026 WAFCON, set to be held in Morocco for the second consecutive edition.
The tournament also serves as a qualifying pathway to the FIFA Women’s World Cup, adding extra significance to the upcoming clash.
