England v Ghana (19:00 GMT)
Ghana midfielder Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah, who plays for Nottingham Forest and was previously at Aston Villa and Everton in the WSL, played international football for England at youth level.
She received her first call-up for Ghana in April and made her debut that month – and helped her team to finish third at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations this summer.
Boye-Hlorkah says it is “amazing” to play for Ghana against England in England.
She told the BBC World Service: “I’m actually colliding both of my nationalities on English soil.
From me to represent Ghana against England in England is unbelievable,
to go and play against some of my friends I’ve grown up with. I played
for England up until under-23s and now I get to go and play for Ghana at
the senior level, I couldn’t even write it.
“Football and being an
international has been my dream but the way it has happened, this moment
is one I’ve never dreamed of. It is amazing, it really is.”
