Black Princesses coach, Yussif Basigi, is feeling confident and ready as they prepare for the 2024 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia. The Ghanaian U-20 female national team recently played two friendly matches in preparation for the tournament.
In their first match, the Princesses played to a goalless draw against Mexico, and in their second match, they managed a 2-2 draw against South Korea. Despite conceding two penalties in the South Korea match, Basigi was pleased with the team’s performance and believes they are on the right track for success.
According to Basigi, the games have provided a valuable learning experience for the team, giving them a better understanding of what to expect in the main tournament. He emphasized the importance of fine-tuning their tactics and avoiding unnecessary penalties.
With their upcoming matches scheduled against Austria, New Zealand, and Japan in Group E, Basigi and his team are focused and determined to make an impact in the tournament. Stella Nyamekye has been named the new captain of the team, adding a sense of leadership and unity as they head into the World Cup.
The FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup is set to begin on August 31 and will run until September 22, 2024. The Black Princesses are gearing up for their opening match against Austria and are eager to showcase their talent on the international stage. With Basigi’s guidance and the team’s determination, Ghana is hopeful for a successful campaign in Colombia.
