The Japan FA on Thursday revealed that Japan’s women’s national team will play against Ghana’s Black Queens in an international friendly, serving as preparation for the upcoming Olympic Games.
The Black Queens have been inactive for nearly three months, with their last game dating back to February against Zambia’s Copper Queens in the Olympics qualifiers. They failed to book their spot in Paris.
However, prior to this, the team broke a five-year spell by securing victory over Namibia in the final qualifying round, ensuring their participation in the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Black Queens’ performances under the guidance of head coach Nora Hauptle, the Japan FA has confirmed the friendly match against Nadeshiko Japan. The encounter aims to assess the strengths of both teams ahead of the Olympic Games.
Scheduled for July 13, the match will take place at the Kanazawa Go-Go Curry Stadium in Ishikawa.
