Recently, the Black Queens played against Morocco’s senior women’s national team but suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat. Despite creating several chances, they were unable to score, and a late goal from Morocco sealed their loss
Meanwhile, the Black Queens have experienced a series of coaching changes in recent years. The current head coach, Kim Lars Björkegren, was appointed ahead of the 2025 WAFCON following the departure of Nora Hauptle. Björkegren, a Swedish coach with an impressive 18-year career and a UEFA License A qualification, brings a wealth of experience to the team.
Despite the recent loss to Morocco, Björkegren remains optimistic about the team’s future. He emphasized the importance of learning from the game and preparing for the upcoming WAFCON. The team has shown promise under his leadership, and there is hope that they will perform well in the tournament.
The Black Queens have faced challenges with consistency and finding a prolific striker. However, the team has demonstrated resilience and determination, and with Björkegren’s guidance, they aim to make a strong impact in the WAFCON
