The Black Queens suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Cameroon in the second Group C match at the 2026 CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday.
Ghana started brightly and enjoyed good spells of possession, but Cameroon took the lead in the first half after converting a penalty kick.
The Black Queens responded positively after the break, pushing forward in search of an equaliser and creating a number of promising opportunities.
Despite the attacking intent, Coach Kim Lars Björkegren’s side were unable to find a breakthrough against a resilient Cameroonian defence.
The team continued to press until the final whistle, with the defence remaining disciplined to keep the deficit at a single goal, but Cameroon held on to secure all three points.
The result leaves the Black Queens with everything to play for in the final Group C fixture as they look to book a place in the knockout stage of the competition.
