Ghana's bid for automatic qualification to the 2027 Women’s World Cup was thwarted by a loss to Malawi in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). The match, held at Al Madina Stadium in Rabat, ended 2-1 in favor of the home team. Rose Kadzere's late goal proved to be the turning point as Ghana's efforts were not enough to secure a win.
Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah had opened the scoring for Ghana with a rebound assist after just six minutes. Evelyn Badu and Comfort Yeboah had been instrumental in the team's previous matches, but a header from Evelyn failed to find the back of the net. Despite a late surge, Ghana couldn't overcome Malawi's advantage, missing out on a place in the semifinals and automatic qualification to the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
The Black Queens' run in the tournament ended with a playoff matchup against Cote d’Ivoire in Casablanca.
