Ghana’s national women’s football team faces a monumental challenge as they prepare to battle tournament hosts Morocco in the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations semifinals on July 22.
The Black Queens secured their semifinal berth – their first in nine years – through a dramatic 4-2 penalty shootout victory over Algeria, with goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan emerging as the hero with two crucial saves.
Head coach Kim Lars Björkegren acknowledged the physical and mental toll of the quarterfinal clash while emphasizing the need for rapid recovery. “I wish we had one or two more days,” the Swedish tactician stated, highlighting the medical team’s critical role in preparing the squad for the Morocco showdown.
The match represents Ghana’s eighth semifinal appearance in WAFCON history as they continue their quest for a maiden continental title. Standing in their way are the 2022 runners-up Morocco, who seek back-to-back finals appearances with home advantage.
