Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Bjorgeren believes his team is firmly on course to qualify for the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
Ghana will chase a World Cup ticket through the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, which will be hosted in Morocco later this year.
The Black Queens have been drawn in Group D alongside Cameroon, Cape Verde and Mali.
Only the top two teams from each group advance, with all semifinalists booking automatic qualification to the World Cup in Brazil.
Speaking in an interview with GHOne TV, the Swedish tactician was emphatic, saying, “Yes, we will qualify for the World Cup.”
He stressed belief as a key ingredient, adding, “If you don’t believe that you will make it, there is no need to give it a try. It will not be easy, and we all know that, but in football, everything can happen.”
Bjorgeren also highlighted the competitive nature of African women’s football, noting, “There are so many teams that are close to each other in Africa and on a similar level, but a little bit different in style of play and approach.”
“You can have a bad day, but hopefully, we will not. I can guarantee that we will be fit and prepared, and we will be ready for the tournament.”
Bjorgeren previously guided the Black Queens to a bronze medal at the last WAFCON, also staged in Morocco.
