Black Maidens

Ghana’s Black Maidens secured a deserved spot in the qualifying race for the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup, India 2022 on Sunday after a 4:0 aggregate win over Senegal in Accra.

The Female U-17 side consolidated their first leg triumph with a 3-0 trouncing of Senegal thanks to second half strikes from Gerogina Ayisha Aoyem, Princess Owusu and Abdulai Karina at the Accra Sports Stadium.
