Rabat: Black Queens coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren is thrilled with his players' progression at the ongoing 2025 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) being held in Morocco. The Black Queens advanced to the semi-finals of the competition after defeating their Algerian opponents 4-2 on penalties after regulation time ended goalless.

Coach Bjorkegren highlighted the importance of growth throughout the tournament, emphasizing that the most successful teams are often those that improve steadily rather than winning their initial matches by large margins. He praised his players for stepping up and taking their chances, contributing to the team's continuous progress.
