Black Princesses Head coach, Ben Fokuo has expressed his disappointment following his side’s goalless draw with the Young Copper Queens of Zambia in the first leg of the FIFA U-20 World Cup qualifier at the Nkoloma Stadium in Zambia on Saturday.

Ghana started the game well with pressing football in the opening exchanges but could not test the Zambians.
Skipper Evelyn Badu and Rahama were guilty of missed chances to win the game for the Princesses.

In a post match interview, Coach Fokuo said his side will come back stronger in the return leg in Accra.

‘We didn’t get the results we wanted but we will do our homework and hopefully win the game in Ghana’’ he said.

My players had lots of chances but couldn’t convert them so we will work on goal scoring as well. I am proud of how the team played. In a game of football, draw is also part of it so we will go back and work harder’’ he added.

Ghana are chasing a record sixth straight FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup participation. The Black Princesses made their first World Cup appearance in 2010 and have gone ahead to play in four tournaments on the spin. (2010, 2012,2014, 2016, 2018).

The Black Princesses will host the Young Copper Queens of Zambia in the reverse encounter on Sunday, December 18, 2021 in Accra.
