FIFA U-20 World Cup: Princesses showed character-Head Coach
Head Coach Charles Sampson says his Black Princesses showed their true character as they bounced back from their opening defeat to beat South Korea 3-1 at the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
In the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, Ghana's Black Princesses showcased remarkable character following their opening defeat to Ecuador. Head Coach Charles Sampson praised his team's performance, highlighting their belief and unity. The Princesses struggled initially, drawing 3-0 with Ecuador in their Group C opener. However, they bounced back emphatically, defeating South Korea 3-1 to keep their qualification hopes alive.
Captain Sarah Nyarko scored the opening goal in the 52nd minute, followed by Ivy Osei Owusu doubling the lead three minutes later. Substitute Ruth Amponsah secured the win with a goal in the 84th minute. Despite the pressure of staying in the competition, Sampson emphasized that his team was focused on their ultimate goal, not letting the result of their first game affect their performance.
The win moved Ghana to three points in Group C, setting up a crucial final group match against France on September 12, 2026. A positive result in that game could secure their qualification for the next round.
