The comprehensive win provides head coach Kim Lars Björkegren and his squad with a significant confidence boost as they prepare to compete at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Dominant Display Led by Boaduwaa
Forward Doris Boaduwaa was the star of the show, netting a clinical hat-trick to dismantle the Malawian defence. Sharon Sampson added the fourth goal to complete the rout and ensure a clean sheet for the Ghanaian backline.
The performance highlighted Ghana’s attacking potency and defensive solidity, key attributes the team will need in the challenging group stage ahead.
Group D Challenge
Ghana have been drawn in Group D alongside Cameroon, Mali, and Cape Verde. With the tournament expanded to 16 teams, the Black Queens will be determined to advance from the group and make a deep run in the competition.
Björkegren’s side have shown steady improvement in recent outings, and this emphatic victory will likely strengthen belief within the camp as they transition into tournament mode.
Looking Ahead
The Black Queens now turn their full attention to the WAFCON, where they will aim to leverage their attacking firepower and tactical organisation under the Swedish coach. Fans will be hoping for a strong showing that matches or exceeds Ghana’s historical performances on the continental stage.
This result marks a positive end to the preparatory phase and sets an exciting tone for what promises to be a competitive Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
