Black Queens during training
The Black Queens have returned to training following their Group C encounter with Cameroon, with full attention now on their decisive final group match against Mali.
The training session centred on recovery, as players who logged significant minutes against Cameroon took part in light exercises and regeneration activities.
The remaining members of the squad underwent a more intensive workout as preparations intensified for the crucial fixture.
With a place in the knockout stage still up for grabs, the mood in camp remains upbeat and focused. Head coach Kim Lars Björkegren and his technical team are using the training sessions to fine-tune tactics ahead of the must-win encounter.
The Black Queens will be aiming to deliver a strong performance against Mali as they look to secure qualification to the quarter-finals and keep their campaign alive.
