Ghana’s women’s national football team will on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, learn their path to the 2028 Olympic Games when the qualification draw is held at the headquarters of the Confederation of African Football in Cairo.
The draw, scheduled for 12:00 GMT, will officially launch Africa’s qualification campaign for the women’s football tournament at the 2028 Summer Olympics.
A total of 35 nations are set to compete for just two available slots, making the qualification process one of the most demanding on the continent. Teams must progress through five knockout rounds, where consistency and resilience will be key to survival.
For Ghana, the draw signals the start of an important journey as they aim to return to the Olympic stage after years of absence. The Black Queens have shown encouraging progress, climbing to 59th in the FIFA Women’s World Rankings and establishing themselves among Africa’s competitive sides.
However, the challenge ahead remains steep, with several top nations also targeting the limited qualification spots. Every round will carry high stakes, leaving little room for error.
As the draw approaches, focus now shifts to the matchups that will define Ghana’s route. The outcome will not only shape their campaign but also determine how realistic their ambition is of securing a place at Los Angeles 2028.
