Ghana coach acknowledges Cameroon as a formidable foe ahead of WAFCON clash

Ghana women’s national team coach Lars Kim Björkegren says he is aware that Cameroon is a tough opponent ahead of their Women’s Africa Cup of Nations clash at the Moulay Rachid Stadium this evening.

Both teams started their Group D run by collecting three points, with the Black Queens sitting top of the table.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference Björkegren says he is confident that his team will perform well tonight.

"Like always, we are looking forward to the next game. We did what we had to do in the first game and that was take all three points and now we move on. We did good things and other things that we need to work on and improve. For this next game I expect the opponent will be one level higher. Cameroon have experienced players, young and hungry players, but also they have players with quality who can be very organised and make it really difficult for us."

The West African side had 61 chances against debutants Cape Verde, scoring two goals and finishing with a clean sheet.

The former Racing Louisville coach says it’s important that they convert most of their chances against the Indomitable Lionesses.

The Black Queens travelled for a friendly match against England at St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton where they lost 2-0 in December before winning 4-0 against Russia in March this year.

Björkegren says he was happy with his team’s preparations for the continental showpiece.
