Ghana will open their U20 Women’s World Cup marketing campaign right this moment (Monday, September 2, 2024) in opposition to Austria.
The Black Princesses, who’re paired in Group E alongside Japan and Australia, are aiming to achieve the knockout stage for the primary time.
Yusif Basigi welcomes Nora Hauptle’s presence in Black Princesses camp
Speaking forward of the sport in opposition to Austria, Basigi expressed confidence in his staff and stated Hauptle’s presence was an excellent factor.
“I am highly motivated and I am calm because it is not every coach that will get this opportunity to be at the world stage so you utilise it well,” he informed Ghanafa.org.
“I have made the girls understand this might be the last for most of them or an opportunity to play for the senior team so this is a chance to justify why they should be included. The head Coach of the senior side is also in Colombia to assess some of the players which is remarkable.”
Basigi added: “The gamers are match-ready as a result of that is what they’ve been ready for and the time has come.
“Looking at the enthusiasm amongst the technical staff, they are also ready because the players are looking up to us and we must be match-ready since they look up to us and if we are not match-ready, it affects the players.”
Ghana’s recreation in opposition to Austria is scheduled at 22:00 GMT.
