Black Princesses Management Committee Chairman, Gideon Fosu, has set his primary goal for Ghana’s National Women’s Under-20 Football Team: advancing beyond the group stage at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. Speaking in an exclusive interview with ChannelOne Sports ahead of the team’s departure to the United States for friendly matches before heading to Colombia for the World Cup, Fosu emphasized his focus on breaking the team’s historical barrier.

“This year’s aim is to move past the group stage and then take it game by game. This has been the motivation for the girls, the technical team, and everyone involved. We are working hard toward that goal,” Fosu stated.

Ghana, placed in Group E alongside Austria, Japan, and New Zealand, will need to finish in the top two of the group or be one of the two best third-placed teams to advance to the knockout stages. Despite competing in six consecutive editions of the tournament, Ghana has yet to progress beyond the group stage.
