Ghana coach Kim Lars Björkegren wants his Black Queens team to face Nigeria's Super Falcons. The teams will meet during preparation for the Women's Africa Cup of Nations tournament. Morocco hosts the main competition later this year at Benslimane. Both squads need practice matches before the real games begin. The coach believes playing against strong opponents helps his players improve.

The friendly match happens on Friday June 29 at the Lanouria Complex. Nigeria has won the African championship nine times before. Björkegren called Nigeria a traditional powerhouse team. He thinks this game will test his players against top competition. The Black Queens coach wants to see how his squad performs under pressure.

Ghana scheduled other warm-up games against Malawi and Botswana. These matches give the team chances to try different tactics. The coach can experiment with his starting lineup during these friendlies. Players compete for spots on the final roster for Morocco. Each game helps the team prepare for the continental tournament.

The Black Queens hope these practice matches make them stronger. Facing quality opponents like Nigeria should boost their confidence. Ghana wants to perform well when the official tournament starts. The team believes good preparation leads to better results. These friendlies represent important steps toward their tournament goals.
