Ghana Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren is looking forward to their international friendly match against Nigeria’s Super Falcons, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The highly anticipated fixture is one of three international friendlies lined up for the Black Queens this month as part of their build-up to the 2025 CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

In a pre-match interview, Bjorkegren emphasized the importance of facing top-tier opposition to sharpen his team’s readiness for the continental showpiece.

"We want to test ourselves against different playing styles and team dynamics. Malawi and Botswana provide technical and disciplined opposition, while Nigeria offers the challenge of a traditional powerhouse," Bjorkegren told the Ghana FA website.

Ghana will kick off their friendly series against Malawi on June 21 at the Ziaida Complex in Benslimane, followed by a match against Botswana on June 25.

They will conclude their preparations with a high-profile showdown against Nigeria on Friday, June 29, at the Lanouria Complex.
