OUR TARGET IS TO QUALIFY-BASHIR HAYFORD



Head Coach of the national under 20 women’s team the Black Princesses, Bashir Hayford says the team is really preparing ahead of their  crucial World Cup qualifier with Equatorial Guinea come next month.


Speaking with Sena Radio, an Accra based radio station, the Ashanti Gold trainer said his lads are really poised and  prepared very hard to meet their Equatoguinean counterparts in the final qualifier. He went on to say their target for now is to qualify to the World Cup.

“ Yea we have been in camp for the past two months and we are preparing very hard. We have been able to play a couple of friendly matches to test our self. We know the task ahead of us and so we are preparing really well. Our target for now is to qualify for the World Cup and then we take it from there”. The former Asante Kotoko and Medeama Coach told Sena radio.

Ghana will need to edge past Equatorial Guinea to confirm their place in the final round of qualifying for next year’s U-20 Women’s World Cup in Canada.

The Black Princesses are chasing one of the two spots at the World Cup up for grabs from the African qualifiers as Nigeria and South Africa also compete for a place.

Before reaching the penultimate qualifying round, Guinea-Bissau who were also scheduled to play Ghana in the first round pulled out of the qualifiers.

A win in both leagues will see the Princesses make  it to a third successive World Cup appearance after previous participations in Germany and Japan in 2010 and 2012 
respectively.
