Kim Lars Björkegren, Head Coach of Ghana’s senior women’s national team, the Black Queens, has reiterated his intention to focus on long term development ahead of his first official outing with the team.

Ghana takes on Morocco on Friday in Casablanca, as part of preparations for this year’s WAFCON.

According to Björkegren, the main aim of Friday’s exercise will be to improve on certain principles and build for the future.

“Morocco is a good team with a lot of talent. Playing away from home will be a challenge, especially with our new coaching staff and players.

“But we're focused on building for the long term, learning from our mistakes, and preparing for the summer tournament.

“We'll work hard to win, but we're also looking at the bigger picture,” he said.

Ghana will take on Morocco at 17:00Hrs at the Père Jégo Stadium in Casablanca on Friday before locking horns with AS FAR Rabat three days later
