Ghana’s Black Queens have opened camp in Birmingham as they begin final preparations for their high-profile international friendly against the England Lionesses on Tuesday.
The match, regarded as one of the team’s biggest tests in recent years, forms a crucial part of Ghana’s build-up to the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). The Queens arrived in camp and will quickly settle into training as head coach Kim Lars looks to fine-tune her squad against one of the world’s top sides.
The fixture offers Ghana a rare opportunity to measure themselves against the European champions, with team officials describing it as an important step in shaping the squad’s tactical and mental readiness for continental competition.
Players are expected to undergo a series of intensive sessions before matchday, with the technical team emphasising fitness, organisation, and transitions, areas they hope to sharpen ahead of WAFCON.
The Black Queens, who have shown steady improvement in recent months, believe the test against England will provide invaluable lessons as they aim for a strong showing at the continental tournament.
