Coach of Black Queens, Yussif Basigi, has shared his thoughts on the recent Africa Women’s Cup of Nations draw, that saw Ghana being paired with defending Champions Nigeria, Mali and Kenya in Group B.
The finals, which is scheduled to kick-start on November 19 in Cameroon, will see the Black Queens of Ghana attempt to claim its first honours in the competition since its inception in 1991.
In an interview with Sportscrudsader.com, Coach Basigi highlighted the difficulty in being paired with eight-time winner Nigeria, and Mali, who are an emerging force in women football across the continent.
“There is no doubt as to how difficult the group is, but I’m hopeful we will sail through from the group phase into the knock-out stages.
“Playing against newcomers, Kenya, will be one of the toughest matches but I have belief in my team, and I’m ready for the championship.”
The Black Queens have made 11 appearances at the championship and, have lost to Nigeria in the 1998, 2002 and 2006 finals.
