Nyantakyi backs Black Maidens to excel at 2018 FIFA U17 World Cup

Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi wants a comprehensive pre-tournament training programme for the Black Maidens ahead of the 2018 FIFA U17 Women's World Cup finals.

The Maidens thumped Djibouti 10-0 on Sunday to book one of the three slots on the continent.

They advanced 19-0 on aggregate after another big win Djibouti for the first leg.

''We made it but let's take one step at a time. Now that we have qualified, we need to plan and prepare the team well so we can make a lasting impression at the World Cup,'' Nyantakyi told the media.

''I think this team will do well.''

Ghana will join South Africa and Cameroon for the tournament which will run from 13 November – 1 December in Uruguay.
