WAFCON 2024 SHOWDOWN | Black Queens Face Survival Test Against Tanzania

In the vibrant city of Berkane, the stage is set for a defining moment in Ghanaian women’s football as the Black Queens prepare for a must-win battle against Tanzania in the final group game of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

With just one point from two games—after a tough 2-0 loss to reigning champions South Africa and a gritty 1-1 draw against Mali—the Queens know the stakes couldn’t be higher. Monday’s clash at the Berkane Municipal Stadium isn’t just another match—it’s a fight for survival, for pride, and for a place in the quarterfinals.

Coach Kim Bjorkegren’s side has shown glimpses of their potential, with the electric pace of Doris Boaduwaa and the clever attacking runs of Chantelle Hlorhkah providing sparks of hope. Midfield generals Alice Kusi and Grace Asantewaa will be crucial, bringing much-needed experience and calm in what promises to be a high-pressure affair.

But standing in their way is a determined Tanzania side, equally desperate to keep their tournament hopes alive. With youthful energy, speed, and nothing to lose, Tanzania promises to be a formidable obstacle.

Yet, the Queens carry the weight of history and undeniable talent. Ghana knows this is more than just three points—it’s about redemption, national pride, and reigniting their WAFCON journey.

It’s all or nothing. Do or die. Victory or heartbreak.

Kickoff: Monday
Venue: Berkane Municipal Stadium
Mission: Survive and Advance
