Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren has named his 24-woman squad for the delayed 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations set to be staged in Morocco.
The team’s lineup is well-balanced, with three goalkeepers, eight defenders, seven midfielders, and six attackers all looking to make an impact in the competition.
The squad is led by Captain Portia Boakye, a key figure known for her leadership and experience on the field. However, Abigail Kofi Kim has been dropped from the final list and the team includes five home-based players, highlighting the talent emerging from local leagues.
Among the selected players, Kerrie McCarthy, Afi Amenyaku, Comfort Yeboah, Nancy Amoah and Wasiima Mohammed are the representatives from the Ghana Women’s Premier League.
Here is the full squad called up by the Swedish trainer:
Goalkeepers: Kerrie McCarthy, Afi Amenyaku and Cynthia Konlan Findib
Defenders: Ernestina Abambila, Susan Ama Duah, Josephine Bonsu, Nina Norshie, Portia Boakye, Louisa Aniwaa, Anasthesia Achiaa and Comfort Yeboah.
Midfielders: Nancy Amoah, Jennifer Cudjoe, Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah, Evelyn Badu, Grace Asantewaa, Jacqueline Owusu and Stella Nyamekye.
Forwards: Wasiima Mohammed, Sherifatu Sumaila, Doris Boaduwaa, Princess Dankwah Marfo, Alice Kusi and Princella Adubea.
The team is hoping to win the competition for the first time after being unsuccessful in three finals in the past.
