The team who will be making its fourth consecutive
appearance at the World Cup have been camping at the Ghanaman School of
Excellence in Prampram for the past one month.
Ghana booked her ticket to this year’s competition after
eliminating Equatorial Guinea on penalties following a 1-1 aggregate score line
in both leagues.
The Princesses will be aiming to make an impression this
time around at the World Cup after failing to earn a point in the last edition
which was held in Japan.
Head Coach Bashiru Hayford will however be counting on the
experience of skipper Beatrice Sesu, Linda Addae, Faustina Ampah, Edem Atovor,
Alice Eva Danso, Priscilla Saahene and Gladys Ampeh who represented Ghana 2 years ago in the same
competition.
The 30-“man” contingent made up of 23 players and 7
officials will leave Ghana at exactly 10pm tomorrow.
Ghana finds itself in a tricky group made up of host
Canada, Finland and 2008 finalist North Korea who also won the competition in 2006.
Ghana
begins her campaign with host Canada on the 5th of August at the BMO
field in Toronto before taking on North Korea on the 8th at the same
venue. And then travel to Montcon to face Finland on the 12th.
