Ghana advanced to the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations after beating Egypt 7-0 across two matches in their final qualifier. Doris Boaduwaa scored three goals in the second leg on Tuesday at Accra Sports Stadium following her hat trick in the 3-0 first match in Ismailia. Comfort Yeboah netted twice across both games as the Black Queens sealed consecutive tournament appearances.
The squad missed weekend training sessions due to a dispute over a bonus payment before Sports Minister Kofi Adams and Football Association President Kurt Okraku intervened. Coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren changed his starting lineup for the home match that remained scoreless until halftime. Boaduwaa broke through in the 52nd minute and added another goal three minutes later before Yeboah made it 3-0 in the 57th minute.
The team will compete in Morocco at the continental championship and can qualify for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil with a semifinal finish. Ghana placed third at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
