Ghana defender Josephine Bonsu says the intercontinental play-off tournament for the 2027 Women’s World Cup will be difficult, after the Black Queens qualified. Ghana must face Ecuador, Uzbekistan and Papua New Guinea next month in a tournament scheduled to take place in Morocco, according to MyJoyOnline.

Josephine Bonsu, a Black Queens defender, believes the intercontinental play-off tournament for the 2027 Women’s World Cup will be difficult for Ghana, MyJoyOnline reports. Ghana will have to go through this stage after losing its chance of qualifying directly.

Ghana were beaten by Malawi in the semi-finals of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, played in Rabat, before defeating Ivory Coast in the continental play-off. The team, coached by Kim Lars Björkegren, must face Ecuador, Uzbekistan and Papua New Guinea in an intercontinental tournament reportedly scheduled to take place in Morocco next month, according to MyJoyOnline.
