Ghana’s U-17 Women’s National Team, the Black Maidens, are expected to open camp today, Monday, 6 October, in Sunyani to begin preparations and squad assessment for upcoming international duties.
Former Ampem Darkoa Ladies head coach Joe Nana Adarkwa, who leads the technical team, has named a provisional 30-player squad to report for camp.
The call-up features a blend of promising talents drawn from clubs across the country, reflecting the Ghana Football Association’s commitment to strengthening the youth development pathway in women’s football.
Among the notable names are Gloria Adomako Ameaa (Ampem Darkoa Ladies), Gloria Owusu (Arm of God Ladies), and Linda Achiaa (Army Ladies), alongside rising stars such as Romina Akolpoka Adombila (Bolga Sharp Arrows) and Grace Nyame (Dreamz Ladies).
The list also includes several players from powerhouse youth clubs such as Epiphany Warriors, Oaks FC, Rootz Sistaz, and Northern City Ladies, who continue to play a pivotal role in nurturing young female talent.
The camping exercise will focus on building team cohesion, tactical discipline, and physical conditioning as the Maidens gear up for the challenges ahead on the international stage.
This exercise will serve as the basis for preparations for the girls as they aim to represent the country in major competitions, including the WAFU Zone B U-17 Women’s Championship.
