2026 U20 WWC: Esther Owusu joins Black Princesses squad in Poland
Owusu arrived in Poland on Tuesday, August 25, to link up with the squad as they continue their preparations for the global tournament.
Forward Esther Owusu has joined the Black Princesses squad in Poland for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. She arrived in Poland on Tuesday, August 25, to join the rest of the team as they prepare for the global tournament. Owusu is part of the first batch of 17 players who left Ghana for Poland to get used to the weather and continue pre-tournament camping.
The attacker was part of the provisional squad for some of the qualifiers, including the match against Tunisia. Owusu will be closely monitored by Charles Sampson, whose team is dealing with several injury concerns, with seven key players likely to miss the tournament, including team captain Linda Owusu Ansah. Because of her delayed arrival, she missed the friendly match against Sleza Wroclaw, but is expected to be fit for the following preparatory games.
Sampson is awaiting a final decision regarding China-based Agnes Yeboah, who is still waiting for her visa to travel to Poland. The Black Princesses will kick off their tournament campaign against Ecuador on September 6, followed by matches against South Korea and France in their other group games.
