This eagerly awaited clash is set for Saturday, July 18, 2026, at the Stade El Abir Zaouli, with a kick-off time of 4:00 pm.

The Black Queens head into this match with boosted morale after achieving a 1-0 win against Ivory Coast in their first pre-tournament friendly. Sharon Sampson netted the crucial goal in the 75th minute, giving Ghana an encouraging start to their WAFCON preparations.

The upcoming match against Nigeria is anticipated to present a significantly greater challenge as the head coach and technical staff continue to evaluate the squad, enhance team cohesion, and refine their strategies in advance of the continental competition.

This encounter also reignites a historic rivalry between two of Africa's premier women's football teams, with both Ghana and Nigeria striving to build momentum and achieve a confidence-boosting result before the WAFCON campaign kicks off.

The Black Queens, who earned a bronze medal in the last tournament, have been placed in Group D along with Cape Verde, Cameroon, and Mali as they aim for another impressive performance on the continental stage.
