Ghana’s national women’s team, the Black Queens, have been drawn to face Rwanda in the first round of qualifiers for the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The two-legged matches will be held between September 18 and 23, 2023, as confirmed during the draw in Rabat, Morocco.
After missing out on the previous edition, the Black Queens are determined to secure their place in the continental tournament.
If they successfully overcome Rwanda, they will face the winner of the Gambia versus Namibia clash in the next round, scheduled between November 27 and December 5.
Ghana is one of eleven teams competing for a spot in the tournament, which will be hosted by Morocco for the second consecutive time.
The Black Queens have been diligently preparing for the qualifiers, already securing victories in three friendly matches against Benin and Senegal.
It is worth noting that Ghana failed to qualify for the 2022 WAFCON following a 2-1 aggregate loss to Nigeria.
