Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Björkegren says his side is fully focused on securing victory in Thursday's decisive TotalEnergies WAFCON group match against Mali, despite knowing that a draw would be enough to reach the quarterfinals.

Speaking ahead of the crucial encounter, the Swedish tactician admitted the team was disappointed with the start of their previous game but believes valuable lessons have been learned. He stressed that the players are relaxed, confident and enjoying the challenge, with team-building activities helping to maintain a positive atmosphere in camp.

"We don't have any pressure at all, not for a single second," Björkegren told reporters during his pre-match press conference. "I think for the girls, I can't talk for them, but they look pretty relaxed. We have, of course, been talking about football and things like that, but we also try to relax a little bit and talk about other things."

Björkegren emphasized that every game in the tournament is a must-win mentality for the Black Queens, insisting his side will play for all three points as they continue building confidence and improving their performances.
