Kim Lars Björkegren expects a fiery test when the Black Queens open their campaign against a Cape Verde side making their WAFCON debut, but believes his side's hard-won experience will make the difference. "It's the first time for Cape Verde in the WAFCON, so they will for sure play with a lot of passion," Björkegren said. "We had like 18 or 19 players who were playing their first WAFCON. Staff have reviewed "all the games that have been possible for one and a half years back" on Cape Verde, but Björkegren insisted the priority remains internal. He acknowledged the weight of Ghanaian expectation, comparing it to the mood around the Black Stars at the FIFA World Cup.
