Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Björkegren says he is relishing a tough test facing European champions England in an international friendly.
Ghana is set to take on the Lionesses on December 2, 2025, at the St. Mary’s Stadium in Southampton.
The game will mark the first-ever meeting between Ghana and England at the senior women’s international level.
Speaking to Joy Sports, Björkegren says the clash will provide a valuable test for his side as they prepare for next year’s Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
“It’s a big game, of course. I think the game is more important in the global world because [England] is the most difficult team to play in the world,” the Swedish trainer said.
“They are probably in the top four in the world together with Spain, France, and the USA right now.
“England are one of the best for sure, and they’re a team that just keeps improving, so it will be a difficult game for us. The fact that they want to play against us is the most important thing.
“We’re talking about a team that can potentially win the World Cup in Brazil. They’re not just going there to participate; they’re going there to win it, and they want to play against us as part of their preparations.”
