Reflecting on their 2018 World Cup experience, Basigi pointed out that the administrative normalization process had impacted their performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my case, I will say it was unfortunate that we went for the World Cup in 2018. That was the time of the expos\u00e9 normalization, so things were not normalized as we went there,\u201d he said. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say that is an excuse though. This time around, we are motivated to go again and make a mark because we are all looking forward to breaking that jinx. So we have made the girls aware just as we, the technical staff, are also aware,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Ghana will face tough competition in Group E, where they are drawn against former World champions Japan, Austria, and New Zealand.
