The Swedish trainer named the squad on Friday with experienced campaigners included in the set up alongside some new faces.

Six players including goalkeeper Rose Baah alongside defenders Diana Amoako and Alexandra Emefa Tay, wingers Sharon Sampson and Helen Alomenu and attacker Ajegipena Zakaria have all received their debut call-up.

Key invitations include 2025 WAFCON bronze medalists Keeper Cythia Konlan, Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah, Jennifer Cudjoe, Portia Boakye, and Grace Asantewaa.

Young faces like Alexandra Tay, Diana Amoako and Helen Alormenu have also earned call-ups, highlighting the coach’s commitment to blending youth with experience.

In total, there are three home based players in the squad for the one week long competition. The Pink Ladies Cup comprises the Black Princesses, Tanzania, Hong Kong and Russia and is set between February 28 and March 6.

The Pink Ladies Cup will serve as a platform for the technical team to shape up the Black Princesses squad for the 2026 Women’s AFCON Morocco, a tournament they finished third last year.
