Black Queens aim to seal Olympic qualifying progress against Mauritius

Ghana’s Black Queens prepare to advance to the third round of the 2028 Olympic Games qualifiers as they host Mauritius in the second leg of their tie on Tuesday. The match will be held at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana, with the Black Queens currently leading 3-0 from the first leg played in Mauritius last Thursday.

Abigail Kim, Alice Kusi, and Benedicte Simon were instrumental in securing the first leg victory, and the Black Queens aim to extend their lead to secure their historic place in the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament for the first time. The Swedish head coach, Kim Lars Björkegren, is likely to retain his core team, though he may make changes to provide opportunities for other players.

Meanwhile, Mauritius will face a challenging task in attempting to overturn their 3-goal deficit and secure their Olympic qualification hopes. The winner of the two-legged tie will progress to the third round, where they will face either Uganda or Zambia in the match scheduled for Tuesday at 15:00 GMT.
