The Ghanaian national soccer team for women (nickname: Black Queens ) is the selection of Ghanaian women soccer players that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) represents on an international level. The team has been coached by Yusif Basigi since 2014, who also works as the head coach of the male Ghana Premier League club Hasaacas . He thus succeeded AK Edusei, who failed to qualify for the World Cup in 2011 and the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The defender Mercy Myles succeeded the former FF USV Jena player Adjoa Bayor as team captain in 2011 .

The GFA selection is one of the more successful national football teams in Africa. She has already been in the final of an African Championship three times . In addition, the team was able to qualify for a world championship three times . Since 2008 the results have fallen short of expectations and in 2012 the team failed to qualify for the African Championship for the first time.
