As the Black Princesses prepare to play Nigeria in the final of the Women’s Football at the 2023 African Games, their coach, Yusif Basigi, insists there is no pressure on his squad to win gold.
The Ghana U-20 women’s team defeated Senegal in the semifinals, and they are very close to winning the gold medal. Nigeria, nevertheless, gets in the way.
Speaking before the pivotal match, Basigi acknowledged the power of his opponents but emphasized that they were prepared to compete with them without feeling under pressure.
“Going into this game, we are not under any pressure. We will give it our all in the championship game, and I think it will be a hard one regardless of whether they have conceded or not.
The much-awaited match is a rematch of the WAFU B U-20 Girls Cup in Kumasi from the previous year, where Ghana defeated their opponents on penalties.
The team’s coach is optimistic that they will keep up their winning ways and win again on Thursday night at the Cape Coast stadium.
Nigeria has scored a lot of goals, but it all depends on the opposition. They didn’t give up in the WAFU B U-20 Girls Cup, thus the outcome will be decided in the final.
Ghana leads the competition with three victories and one tie heading into the championship, while Nigeria has similarly excelled with all of its victories.
The game begins at 8:00 p.m. local time.
