England women's World Cup hopes end at group stage

Ghana's national women's football team, the Black Queens, have been allocated a challenging group of opponents in the intercontinental play-offs for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The draw has placed them against Ecuador, Uzbekistan and Papua New Guinea in a round-robin group. Only the top two teams from this group will advance to the final phase of qualification.

The Black Queens' initial match is scheduled against Ecuador, followed by a match against Uzbekistan, and concluding with a game against Papua New Guinea. To secure their place in the final phase and their quest for a return to the Women's World Cup since 2007, the Black Queens must finish in the top two of their group. The winners of the top two teams' group will then face two CONCACAF representatives, a UEFA representative, and Venezuela, the representative of CONMEBOL, in the single-elimination final phase.
