Black Princesses Return to Accra After Securing World Cup Qualification

Black Princesses have arrived back in Accra after successfully booking their place at the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.

The team touched down in the early hours of Monday, May 11, following their hard-fought qualification victory over Uganda in the final round of the qualifiers.

Ghana progressed with a 3-2 aggregate triumph after drawing 1-1 in Kampala, having secured a 2-1 advantage in the first leg at the Accra Sports Stadium earlier this month.

Linda Owusu Ansah scored Ghana’s decisive goal in the return fixture, helping the Black Princesses withstand pressure and seal qualification.

Upon arrival, the squad received a warm reception from members of the Ghana Supporters Union, who welcomed the players and technical team with songs, cheers and celebrations at the airport.

The qualification extends Ghana’s remarkable consistency at youth level, with the Black Princesses now set to appear at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup for the eighth consecutive time.

Attention will now shift to preparations for the tournament in Poland later this year, where coach Charles Sampson and his squad will aim to make history by becoming the first Ghanaian team at that level to progress beyond the group stage.
