Black Queens Head Coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren has announced a 24-player squad for Ghana’s upcoming international friendly against England’s Lionesses on December 2, 2025, at St. Mary’s Stadium in Southampton.
The squad is a well-balanced mix of seasoned internationals and promising young talents, with defender Anasthesia Achiaa making a much-anticipated return to the national team. The headline inclusion is the maiden call-up for Benedicte Simon of Swiss giants Servette Geneve FC, who has earned her first opportunity on the international stage with her impressive club form.
Bjorkegren’s squad maintains continuity with several regulars retained across all areas of the pitch, ensuring stability as the team fine-tunes its tactical shape. The clash with England is more than a friendly – it’s a key performance indicator as Bjorkegren works toward building a formidable side for next year’s continental campaign in Morocco ¹.
The Black Queens Squad:
Goalkeepers: Kerrie McCarthy, Afi Amenyaku, Cynthia Konlan Findib
Defenders: Ernestina Abambila, Susan Ama Duah, Josephine Bonsu, Nina Norshie, Portia Boakye, Louisa Aniwaa, Anasthesia Achiaa, Comfort Yeboah
Midfielders: Nancy Amoah, Jennifer Cudjoe, Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah, Evelyn Badu, Grace Asantewaa, Jacqueline Owusu, Stella Nyamekye
Forwards: Wasiima Mohammed, Sherifatu Sumaila, Doris Boaduwaa, Princess Dankwah Marfo, Alice Kusi, Princella Adubea
The Black Queens will assemble in camp before departing for the UK for this high-profile encounter.
