Black Princesses will play Nigeria for an All Africa Games qualifier

Ghana’s Under-20 female head coach Kuuku Dadzie is keen to restore the country’s image and pride when his side tackle Nigeria in a crucial All Africa Games qualifier this weekend.

The Black Princesses want to make amends after the embarrassing exit of the both the male and female Olympic teams from the 2012 London Olympic Games qualifiers.

They face a daunting task to book a passage to the games in Maputo against the Super Falcons who are the reigning women’s champions on the continent.

But coach Dadzie is sure his young charges can scale the hurdle against their perennial foes.

“Everybody is looking up to the Princesses to restore the image of Ghana and we’re also battle ready. We know they’re ahead of us but we’ve psyched up for the game and we’ll deliver,” Dadzie said.

“Football is a game of uncertainty and with the right approach we’ll do well.”
