Black Queens coach Björkegren pleased with growing squad depth ahead of Egypt tie

Black Queens head coach, Kim Lars Bjorkegren, has expressed satisfaction with the depth and quality within his squad as Ghana prepares to face Egypt in the 2026 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifiers.

The Swedish tactician noted that while the core group performed impressively during the summer, several new players have also shown great potential and are being closely monitored for future inclusion.

"We know that we have a strong squad that did really well in the summer, but there are so many players with good potential that haven’t been in the squad before. We try to rotate and give new players a chance in the squad because, at the end of the day, we always need to have the best players on the pitch for Ghana," Bjorkegren said.

He added that the team’s improved depth could give Ghana an advantage over Egypt in the two-legged encounter, describing it as “a positive sign for the future."

The Black Queens will play the first leg in Ismailia before hosting the return fixture in Accra on Tuesday.
