Kim Lars Björkegren: Black Queens are on the right path

Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Björkegren has expressed confidence in his team’s progress, insisting the team is on the right path ahead of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco later this year.The Swedish tactician, who replaced Nora Hauptle last year, shared his optimism while reflecting on Ghana’s prospects at the tournament, where the Black Queens have been drawn in Group D alongside Mali, Cameroon and Cape Verde.Björkegren guided Ghana to a bronze medal at the previous WAFCON, and he believes the current squad has what it takes to build on that achievement."We have shown that we keep moving in the right direction the whole time," he told the Ghana FA Media."If we do that, we have the potential to go all the way in the tournament," he added.Under the WAFCON format, the top two teams in each group qualify automatically for the quarter-finals, while the four semi-finalists will earn places at the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
