Ghana at WAFCON 2026: Full schedule, dates, venues and kick-off times for the Black Queens
Ghana's Black Queens will begin their 2026 TotalEnergies Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) campaign in Morocco on Wednesday, July 29, when they face Cape Verde at the Moulay Rachid Stadium in Casablanca. The 15th edition of WAFCON, hosted by Morocco for the second consecutive tournament, runs from July 26 to August 16, 2026, after the Confederation of African Football (CAF) rescheduled the competition from its original March-April window.
16 national teams have been drawn into four groups, with the top two from each pool advancing to the quarter-finals and the four semi-finalists earning automatic qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, to be hosted by Brazil. Ghana is in Group D alongside Cape Verde, Cameroon, and Mali. Head coach Kim Lars Björkegren's side will play all three of their group-stage matches at the Moulay Rachid Stadium in Casablanca, a change from the initial plan that had them based in Fez. CAF's revised operational programme moved the Black Queens' team base from Fez to Casablanca in the weeks leading up to the tournament, ensuring the squad plays their entire group phase at a single venue. The Black Queens open their campaign against WAFCON debutants Cape Verde, with kick-off at 17:00 GMT.
