Ghana Coach Anticipates Tough WAFCON Semi-Final Against Morocco
Rabat – Ghana head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren is expecting a tough semi-final WAFCON match against Morocco.
Morocco secured a win in the semifinals last Friday after a 3-1 win against Mali, while Ghana defeated Algeria on penalties on Saturday to clinch a ticket for the semi-finals.
He said the players 'need physical and mental recovery,' noting that his play has only a few days for recovery before the game against Morocco.
'I wish we had one or two more days, but this is football. We need mental recovery, and as for the players, they may need even more physical recovery,' he said.
This indicator could be an opportunity for the Atlas Lionesses, who finished their game on Friday and enjoyed a couple of days of rest and training after their win against Mali.
Morocco will play its match against Ghana at Rabat's Olympic Stadium on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Moroccan time.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) described the game between Ghana and Morocco as a high-stakes semifinal.
'Three years ago, Morocco reached the final on home soil, reigniting national pride in women's football,' CAF said.
The confederation emphasized that now, in 2026, the Atlas Lionesses have matured and are stronger and more composed.
'With a packed Olympic Stadium behind them, Jorge Vilda's side has shown newfound maturity,' CAF wrote. Tags: Algeria WAFCONmorocco wafcon
