Published on: 04 January 2024

Black Princesses head coach, Yussif Basigi says there is no pressure on him to qualify the team for the 2024 Women’s U20 FIF World Cup.

Speaking ahead of the tie against Senegal in the final round of the qualifiers, the coach said the fact that the Ghana U20 Women’s national team has qualified for every World Cup since 2010 is a motivation for the team.

“There is no pressure on me knowing the team has made it to the World Cup since 2010. It motivates me to rather do better because I was one of the coaches who qualified the team to the U-20 Women’s World Cup in 2018.

“So I am looking forward to qualifying the team to another World Cup and it is going to be a record. There is no pressure on me but rather I am highly motivated to qualify the team,” Coach Yussif Basigi said.

The first meeting between Ghana and Senegal will take place at Stad Lat Dior in Thies, Senegal on Saturday, January 13, while the reverse fixture is scheduled for the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday, January 21, 2024.
