Black Queens Begin Training in Senegal Ahead of Double Header Against Teranga Lionesses
Ghana’s senior women’s national football team, the Black Queens, kicked off their first training session in Senegal on Thursday, April 3, as part of their nine-day training tour ahead of the rescheduled 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The session marked the beginning of a crucial phase in the team’s preparations under head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren.
All 22 players named in the squad for the tour were present, showcasing a full-strength contingent ready to fine-tune tactics and team chemistry.

Among those taking part in the session were five players who had missed out on the team’s February training camp in Morocco — the Swede’s first assignment since taking charge of the Black Queens.
The team’s presence in Senegal is expected to serve as both a fitness booster and a tactical test ground, with two friendly matches lined up against the Teranga Lionesses. Ghana will face Senegal in back-to-back fixtures scheduled for April 5 and April 8.
