Black Queens midfielder Jennifer Cudjoe has urged Ghanaians to keep believing in the team as they prepare for their decisive Group D clash against Mali at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

Ghana face Mali on Thursday at the Moulay Rachid Stadium in Casablanca, knowing that victory will secure a place in the quarter-finals of the tournament.

The Black Queens opened their campaign with a 2- 0 victory over tournament debutants Cape Verde before suffering a narrow defeat to Cameroon, leaving qualification to be decided in their final group match.

Despite the setback, Cudjoe remains optimistic about Ghana’s chances of progressing and achieving their goals in Morocco.

“We want to be the best. We want to get to the World Cup and also get to the final,” she told the media on Wednesday.
