Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren has announced a 24-player squad for Ghana’s upcoming international friendly against the England Lionesses, scheduled for Monday, 2 December 2025, at the St. Mary’s Stadium in Southampton.
The fixture presents a crucial opportunity for the Queens to test their strength against one of the world’s top women’s national teams as preparations intensify ahead of the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Bjorkegren’s squad is a well-balanced mix of seasoned internationals and promising young talents.
Defender Anasthesia Achiaa makes a much-anticipated return to the national team, adding depth, experience, and composure to Ghana’s defensive unit.
The headline inclusion is the maiden call-up for Benedicte Simon of Swiss giants Servette Geneve FC.
Her impressive form at club level has earned her a first opportunity on the international stage, and the coaching staff will be keen to assess her impact against elite opposition.
The squad also maintains continuity with several regulars retained across all areas of the pitch, ensuring stability as the team fine-tunes its tactical shape.
For Bjorkegren, the clash with England is more than a friendly - it is a key performance indicator as he works toward building a formidable side for next year’s continental campaign in Morocco.
The Black Queens will assemble in camp before departing for the UK for this high-profile encounter.
