GFA President Charges Black Princesses to Uphold Legacy Ahead of Tunisia Clash
Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku has called on the Black Princesses to maintain their reputation as Ghana’s most consistent national side as they prepare to face Tunisia in the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers.
Okraku joined the squad at their training base in Accra on Wednesday, where he encouraged the players to rise to the occasion before their first-leg showdown at the Tayeb Mhiri Stadium in Sfax on Saturday.
Highlighting the Princesses’ track record on the continental and global stage, the GFA boss reminded the team that expectations from Ghanaians are as high as ever.
“On the African continent, you’ve been dominant, and everyone in Ghana expects great things from you. To achieve your goals, you need to prepare well, and I believe you’ve had decent preparation for this crucial game against Tunisia. We have no doubt that you’re ready, despite the challenges,” Okraku told the squad.
The Black Princesses stand out as Ghana’s most reliable national team, having qualified for seven consecutive FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cups — a feat unmatched by any of the country’s other national sides. They are determined to extend that remarkable record with another successful campaign.
Also present at the camp was GFA Executive Council member Eugene Nobel, who joined Okraku in expressing solidarity with the players and technical staff as they gear up for the crucial qualifier.
