Ghana’s Black Queens are aiming to secure a vital victory in their next match and improve their chances of reaching the quarter-finals, head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren says.
The Swedish coach said the team’s immediate priority was to claim all three points, with success expected to strengthen Ghana’s position in the standings and move them closer to the knockout stage.
“We are looking at getting the three points that will put us in a good position for the quarter-finals,” Bjorkegren said.
The Black Queens have been preparing for the important fixture as the competition reaches a decisive point. Their focus is on producing the performance required to earn a result that could have a significant impact on their prospects of progressing.
Bjorkegren is confident Ghana can respond positively in the match, but he has also stressed the need for his players to maintain their concentration and discipline. The coach wants the team to remain committed to its approach throughout the encounter as it seeks the outcome that would strengthen its position.
A win would provide the Black Queens with valuable momentum at a crucial stage of the tournament. It would also give Ghana a stronger platform from which to pursue a place in the quarter-finals, with the team looking to turn its preparations into a result on the pitch.
The technical team remains optimistic that a strong display can deliver the desired outcome. Preparations have continued with the objective of ensuring the players are ready for the demands of the fixture and able to take advantage of the opportunity before them.
For Ghana, the match represents an important chance to improve its standing and take another step towards the knockout phase. Bjorkegren’s message is clear: the Black Queens must prioritise victory while maintaining the discipline needed to manage a high-pressure contest.
With the quarter-final places in sight, the team’s next performance will be judged not only by its quality but also by whether it produces the three points identified by the coach as the central target. A positive result would strengthen Ghana’s hopes, provide momentum for the decisive stage of the competition and leave the Black Queens closer to securing their place in the last eight.
