WAFCON 2026: Black Queens make winning start with victory over Cape Verde

The Black Queens, who suffered defeat in their opening match at the previous edition, ensured there would be no repeat this time as an early Doris Boaduwaa strike and a second-half own goal secured all three points in the Group D opener.

After the men's success at the World Cup, Cape Verde should not be underestimated on their Women's Africa Cup of Nations debut, forward Sandra Martins warns.
