Black Princesses to play Tunisia in FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers
By Lukman Mumin, Accra
Ghana’s U-20 women’s national team, the Black Princesses, will face their Tunisian counterparts in the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers in September.
The seven-time World Cup finalists will travel to Tunis for the first leg before hosting their opponents in Ghana for the second leg.
Ghana was exempted from the first round of qualifiers, while Tunisia reached the second round after eliminating Togo 3–2 on aggregate.
The Black Princesses have been preparing for the match at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence.
“Now our focus has gone to the game against Tunisia because we now know our opponents,” said coach Charles Sampson.
“I have watched the game they played in Togo, which ended 1–1, and the return leg in Tunisia, which they won 2–1. It was a tight game too. So now we know how they play. It’s now up to us to study the game, analyze it well, and prepare to be ahead of them in September.” The Black Princesses have appeared in the last seven FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cups but are yet to advance beyond the group stage.
