Basigi outlines programme for Queens

The vice president of the Ghana Women’s League Board, Rosalind Amoh, has revealed plans outlined by Coach Yussif Basigi for the Black Queens ahead of the 2016 African Women’s Championship in Cameroon in November.

Ghana’s senior women’s team have been drawn in the same group with Nigeria, Kenya and Mali.

Speaking to Class News, Ms Amoh said: “The coach has lined up a very good programme for the team ahead of the tournament. He has also proposed a number of friendly games against Cote d’Ivoire, Egypt, and South Africa. So we will hope to get ready for the competition.”

She added that Ghana’s group of Nigeria, Kenya, and Mali looked an all-too-familiar one, but was confident of qualification from the group.

“I think the only new team in this group is Kenya. Nigeria has played them only once, but both Ghana and Mali have never played them. Between Ghana, Mali and Nigeria, we have played ourselves countless number of times. So it is all too familiar.”
