Kim Lars Björkegren, head coach of the Black Queens, stated he feels "no pressure at all" ahead of Ghana's crucial 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup play-off against Ivory Coast on Thursday. The match will take place in Casablanca, Morocco, with a place in the intercontinental World Cup play-offs at stake. Björkegren said, "For me personally, to be honest, no pressure at all. I do not feel pressure because if I feel pressure, I can't make the right decisions." He also mentioned his 20 years as a coach and 10 years as a player.
Ghana's automatic qualification hopes for the 2027 tournament in Brazil ended after a 2-1 defeat to Malawi in the quarter-finals of the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). This defeat occurred at the Al Madina Stadium in Rabat on Sunday. The Black Queens have not qualified for the FIFA Women's World Cup since their last appearance in 2007.
