Ghana’s U-20 women’s team head off to their maiden FIFA U-20 World Cup in Germany this July as one of the tournament’s unknowns, but coach James Dadzie believes they will make an impact.
And it is true that his side were impressive in qualifying. The Black Princesses came through the African qualifiers without conceding any goals and decisively beat the Democratic Republic of Congo, who had been to the last two editions of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Chile and Russia, in their decisive qualifying tie. Ghana have previously been to the FIFA Women’s World Cup and FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup but this is their first tournament appearance at U-20 level.
“Actually the core of this team is drawn from the under-17 side that played at the last World Cup,” explains Dadzie, who says although they may be rookies at this event there is already a sense within his squad of what competing at a world championship is all about.
