The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has expressed strong confidence in the Black Queens, promising total commitment and support as the team prepares for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.

Speaking on the federation’s expectations, GFA Communications Director Henry Asante Twum outlined a clear two-fold target for the tournament: securing qualification for the FIFA Women’s World Cup and mounting a serious challenge for the continental title.

The Black Queens, who finished third at the previous WAFCON, have been placed in a demanding Group A alongside Cameroon, Mali, and Cape Verde. Rather than viewing the draw as a setback, the GFA believes it will push the team to raise its level and compete at its best.

Reflecting on the last tournament, Asante Twum noted that Ghana narrowly missed out on greater success and expressed confidence that the team can go further this time. He stressed that familiarity with their group opponents and sustained preparation give the Black Queens a solid foundation heading into the competition.

He further attributed the team’s growing confidence and quality to continuous investment in women’s football by the federation. According to him, the GFA has carefully planned and resourced the team’s build-up to ensure they are fully ready for the challenge ahead.

Reaffirming the federation’s commitment, Asante Twum pledged that no effort would be spared in supporting the squad. He emphasized that the GFA will continue to invest, motivate, and push the players, expressing firm belief that the Black Queens will rise to the occasion and make the nation proud.
