Morocco’s senior women’s national team, the Atlas Lionesses, has scheduled an international friendly against Ghana’s Black Queens later this month as part of their preparations for the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The match is set to take place on Friday, February 21, at the Père Jégo Stadium in Casablanca.
This fixture will mark the debut of Ghana’s newly appointed head coach, Kim Lars Björkegren, who took charge last month.
The Swedish tactician replaces Nora Häuptle, whose tenure with the Black Queens came to an end after failing to secure an extension.
Ghana’s women’s national team has not played a match since their 4-0 defeat to Japan in an international friendly in July 2024.
Planned friendlies against Senegal and Tunisia were called off due to financial constraints.
For Björkegren, this friendly will serve as a crucial opportunity to assess his squad as Ghana prepares for their first WAFCON appearance since 2018.
