Ghana’s senior women’s national football team, the Black Queens, have been nominated for the Women’s Team of the Year award at the 2026 Confederation of African Football (CAF) Awards.
The nomination places Ghana among the leading women’s national teams being considered for one of the most prestigious honours in African football.
It recognises the progress made by the Black Queens and their continued efforts to compete at the highest level of the women’s game on the continent.
The team’s players, technical staff and management have been praised for their hard work, commitment and determination as Ghana seeks to re-establish itself among Africa’s leading women’s football nations.
The Black Queens have continued to draw attention through their performances and their participation in international competitions, where they have represented Ghana with pride.
Their nomination provides continental recognition for those efforts and reflects the team’s growing reputation in African women’s football.
The acknowledgement is also expected to give the squad further motivation as it looks to build on its progress and strengthen Ghana’s position in the women’s game.
A victory in the category would be another significant achievement for Ghanaian football and would provide a major boost to the development and promotion of women’s football in the country.
The 2026 CAF Awards will honour outstanding achievements across African football during the period under review. The awards recognise the contributions of players, coaches, teams and administrators who have made a significant impact on the sport.
For the Black Queens, the nomination represents an opportunity to secure further recognition for their work and enhance Ghana’s profile in women’s football.
