Black Queens forward Mukarama Abdulai believes the Black Princesses have the capability to advance beyond the group stage at the 2024 U20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia, aiming for an unprecedented achievement.

Returning to the senior women’s national team after a five-year absence due to injury, Abdulai brings extensive experience from her tenure in youth teams.

Having featured multiple times for the Princesses since claiming the golden boot at the 2018 U17 World Cup, Abdulai is confident they can make history.

“They've had great exercises like the WAFU Zone B Championship and then the 2023 African Games, so I believe they are there,” she told the media on Saturday at the Accra Sports Stadium.

“They need just some few weeks, they'll be ready. I think they'll do a great job and they'll go more than we usually do.”

The Black Princesses are in Group E alongside Austria, Japan and New Zealand.

Ghana, qualifying for its seventh successive U20 World Cup, will be among four African nations competing in the prestigious tournament.
