Black Queens’ head coach, Kim Lars Björkegren, has highlighted the importance of the upcoming friendly against Nigeria as a benchmark for the team’s progress ahead of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, Prompt News reports.
The Black Queens have already played two friendly matches against Malawi and Benin, which have served as an opportunity to assess the team’s current standing and identify areas for improvement.
Björkegren emphasized that the game against Nigeria will be a significant test for his team.
“With full respect to Malawi and Benin, Nigeria is one step up,” the Sweden told Ghana Football Association official website.
“One of the best teams in Africa with good players in almost every position. The game against Nigeria is going to be a very, very tough game. But that’s also what we need now because we have shown that our lowest level is high enough.
“We know that we can score goals, and we have built a good defence, so it’s going to be fun to match up against one of the best teams.”
