Ghana is on the verge of winning its first-ever Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, says head coach Kim Lars Björkegren.
The Black Queens have played in three finals and are still waiting for their maiden title triumph.
After a dip in performance having not qualified for the last edition and failing to progress from the group stages as hosts in 2018, the team returned to the 2024 edition and emerged as the third-best team.
This was after Ghana claimed bronze by defeating South Africa 4-3 on penalties.
It’s the first time the Queens have medaled at WAFCON since 2016, when they also beat Banyana Banyana.
“Tactical aspect, we learnt from the first game and we did some small changes," Björkegren said.
“The future is really bright in Ghana, so we need to keep working hard. We can see how close we are, of course we know we can win it [the AFCON].”
Meanwhile, Nigeria were crowned champions after edging hosts Morocco to claim a record 10th title
