The Black Maidens, Ghana's women's football team, have journeyed from Accra to Yamoussoukro in Cote d'Ivoire in preparation for the WAFU B U17 Girls Cup. A team of twenty players, accompanied by the coaching staff, embarked on their trip on Sunday, marking the start of Ghana's quest to reclaim the championship title. The reigning champions hold the record for the most victories in this competition.
The Black Maidens are set to kick off their campaign by hosting Burkina Faso in their opening match today. The team arrived in the Ivorian capital yesterday and commenced training immediately following their arrival. The WAFU B U17 championship is now structured as a league format due to Benin's withdrawal from the event. The roster of participating nations includes Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Togo, Niger, and Cote d'Ivoire.
Matches will be played across two venues, Stade CKB and Lycee Scientifique, with the final showdown against Cote d'Ivoire scheduled for September 27.
