Black Queens Coach maps out preparations ahead of Olympic qualifying games

Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Björkegren has provided insight into the preparations for Ghana’s first leg fixture in the 2028 Olympic Games qualifiers against Mauritius on October 8. The team arrived at the Côte d’Or National Sports Complex for their limited training session on Monday, with head coach Björkegren acknowledging that most players joined in the past two days.

"Most of them arrived today some of them late yesterday so the training today was really soft," he stated to the team’s media. Björkegren also addressed areas that may require improvement ahead of the match, mentioning tactical aspects and attacking play. "There’s normal preparation, some tactical aspect, what we can do a little bit different especially with the ball in attack that I think we have some areas we can improve," he added.

The Black Queens will aim to secure a victory in the return leg at the Accra Sports Stadium five days later, seeking to make history as Ghana’s first Olympic qualifying team.
