Black Princesses coach Yusif Basigi has emphasised the team’s target to clinch the ultimate in the women’s football competition of the ongoing 2023 African Games.
The Ghana U-20 female side has begun the camping on an excellent note clinching two straight wins. They narrowly edged past Ethiopia in their first game and came from behind to seal qualification to the next stage by beating Tanzania 2-1 at the Cape Coast Staf=dium on Tuesday, March 12, 2023.
While they have a game to spare against Uganda, the team has an eye on their anticipated semi-final clash.
Basigi acknowledged that the journey hasn’t been rosy but belives in his team’s capabilities.
“We want to win; that is why we are competing,” said Basigi when quizzed about his target at the end of the game. “We are on course. You may see the team not stable but we are on course.”
“We have a little bit of challenges but we are managing and I know we will find our rhythm. That is why in the first half you saw we were a bit shaky because when you don’t have the complement of the team and you keep changing this is what happens.
