The newly appointed head coach of the Black Queens, Kim Bjorkegren has pledged to elevate Ghana’s ranking in FIFA’s global standings, expressing confidence in the potential of the team.
The Swedish trainer takes over from Nora Huptle, who departed to coach Zambia after her contract expired and signed a two-year contract.
Speaking at a presser held on Friday, February 14, 2025, as the new boss of the Black Queens, he vowed to improve the team’s position on the FIFA ranking.
“I know there has been a lot of good work done in the past couple of years. I know a little about the Volta project, and that’s something we will keep working on and discussing—to change the momentum and keep moving in the right direction,” he said.
“When it comes to the FIFA ranking, we are currently 66th, and I think that’s way too high, to be honest. With the quality we already have, we should be in a better position. And like I said, in the long term, we will certainly get there.”
The coach’s appointment comes as Ghana seeks to re-establish itself as a dominant force in women’s football.
