Published on: 18 February 2023

Black Queens held their first training session in Cotonou ahead of their first international friendly against Benin on Sunday. 

The team and the technical staff departed Accra in the early hours of Thursday, February 17, 2023 for Cotonou where they arrived in the evening.

The training session was supervised by Nora Hauptle and her two assistants at the match venue.

Before traveling to Benin the entire team made a stop at the River Volta on the Ghana Aflao road as part of the ‘mission volta’ created by coach Nora Hauptle. Volta is a Portuguese word that means turn as she hopes to make the turn towards success for the senior Women national team.

The Black Queens have been inactive since missing out on the last edition of the Africa Women Cup of Nations in Morocco and this friendly will be a great exercise in readiness for the 2023 WAFU B Women’s Cup of Nations and the 2024 African Women’s Cup of Nations qualifiers.
