The squad, announced on Friday, reflects a blend of experienced campaigners and promising young talents, as the technical team continues to shape a competitive side capable of making an impact on the continental stage.
The Pink Ladies Cup is expected to offer the Black Queens valuable international exposure and an opportunity to fine-tune tactics ahead of the crucial WAFCON tournament.
Among the notable inclusions are Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah, Jennifer Cudjoe, Portia Boakye, and Grace Asantewaa, all of whom bring experience and leadership to the team.
Young talents such as Alexandra Tay, Diana Amoako, and Helen Alormenu have also earned call-ups, highlighting the coach’s commitment to blending youth with experience.
The Pink Ladies Cup will serve as a key preparatory assignment for the Black Queens, giving the technical team the chance to assess player readiness, build cohesion, and evaluate tactical options against international opposition.
