Ghana’s Black Queens will be aiming to bounce back when they take on Mali in a must-win Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) 2024 group stage match on Friday, 11th July 2025, at the Berkane Stadium in Morocco. Kick-off is set for 5PM UTC (4PM GMT).
After a disappointing 2-0 loss to South Africa’s Banyana Banyana in their opening game, the Black Queens are under pressure to secure all three points to revive their hopes of advancing to the knockout stage.
Head coach Kim Lars has urged his players to stay focused and show character against a physical and fast-paced Malian side.
Mali, on the other hand, will come into the match with momentum and confidence after a positive result in their opening fixture. Known for their aggression and disciplined defending, the Malian team has proven to be a tough opponent in recent WAFCON editions.
All eyes will be on Ghana’s captain and defensive anchor, Duah and Yeboah, who brings experience and leadership at the back. The team will also look to attackers like Alice Kusi, Boaduwaa and Boakye to find the goals they couldn’t manage against South Africa.
With qualification to the next round hanging in the balance, this encounter promises to be a high-stakes, high-energy battle between two of West Africa’s strongest women’s football nations.
