WAFCON 2026: Black Queens make winning start with victory over Cape Verde

The Black Queens, who suffered defeat in their opening match at the previous edition, ensured there would be no repeat this time as an early Doris Boaduwaa strike and a second-half own goal secured all three points in the Group D opener.

The Black Queens return to action on August 2, when they face Cameroon in their second group game.

Ghana opened their 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) campaign with a 2-0 victory over tournament debutants Cape Verde on Wednesday, making the perfect start to their quest for a place at the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup.
