And according to Salam Yakubu, the Black Starlets are poised to add this year's title to their two previous titles when the tournament kicks off
“Where ever I am there is no failure and Ghanaians should just exercise patience for this Starlets team, we shall bring the trophy back home all that we need from Ghanaians is prayers,” Yakubu indicated
“We are just praying that by Wednesday the team will leave Ghana to continue the preparation abroad and get international exposure ahead of the tournament."
The Starlets will embark for United Arab Emirates on Wednesday September 13 where they will continue their preparations at Abu Dhabi.
