Ghana’s Black Queens will begin their preparations for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) by taking part in the Pinks Ladies Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
The tournament, scheduled from February 28 to March 6, offers a competitive environment for the team to sharpen tactics, build match fitness, and assess squad depth ahead of the continental showdown.
The UAE-based competition features national teams from across the globe, with this year’s edition including Ghana, Russia, Hong Kong, and Tanzania.
