Black Queens head coach Nora Hauptle has invited 33 players to camp in Accra in readiness for the forthcoming international friendly against Japan.

The Black Queens will use the game to prepare for the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) scheduled for Morocco next year. Japan, a powerhouse in Women’s football, have qualified for the Olympic Games in Paris and see Ghana as an ideal opponent in preparation for the Games.
