Tokyo’s Kanazawa Go Go Curry Stadium will be the venue for a highly anticipated international Women’s Friendly match between Japan’s Nadeshiko and Ghana’s Black Queens on July 13.
The Black Queens secured their spot in the 2024 Women’s African Cup of Nations (WAFCON) after defeating Namibia in the final qualifying round.
This upcoming match against Japan presents an opportunity for the team to maintain their competitive edge ahead of the tournament. Additionally, it allows Head Coach Nora Häuptle to assess potential new additions to the squad.
For Japan, this game serves as part of their preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympics Games. Ranked seventh in the world, they aim to strengthen their team through challenging fixtures like this one against Ghana.
Ghana’s Black Queens, currently ranked 64th globally and fourth in Africa, continue to benefit from opportunities provided by the Ghana Football Association to participate in international friendlies during FIFA Women’s international windows.
Recent matches against Senegal and Benin have been part of this strategy to enhance the team’s capabilities.
