‘Princesses need adequate preparation for World Cup’ – Rosalind Amoh

Vice Chairperson of the Ghana Women’s Premier League Committee, Rosalind Amoh expects the Ghana FA to invest in the adequate preparations of the Black Princesses, to ensure the team breaks the jinx of consistent failure to advance past the group stage of the of FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.

Coach Ben Fokuo’s side booked a sixth qualification to the World Cup after edging out Ethiopia 5-1 on aggregate over two legs. But, the Princesses have just 3 months and 24 days to fine-tune their readiness for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica, which kicks off on August 10.

Ghana has enjoyed five World Cup appearances between 2010 and 2018, with the Princesses unable to progress to the knockout stage of the global soccer event.

“The preparation for the competition has always been our bane. We’ve never gone past the group stage and it’s all because of our preparations and the kind of teams we got,” Rosalind Amoh, a Veteran Journalist, said on TV3’s Sports Show – Warm Up+ on Saturday.

“As for the qualification, we will always qualify. The only teams that may pose a threat to us will be the East Africans and now South Africans. What we need to give the team is the recognition, motivation and preparation,” She concluded.

Though it may seem unrealistic, GFA Boss Kurt Okraku has disclosed in a recent interview with GTV Sports+ that the vision of the nation’s football governing body is for the Black Princesses to win the trophy in Costa Rica.
