Ghana coach Yussif Basigi has named his final squad for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia, which starts on August 31 and ends on September 22, 2024.

The team arrived in Colombia last week and includes 21 players, most of whom are from Ghana.

Key players include goalkeeper Jenna Kayla Sarpong from Auburn University and defender Alexandra Emefa Tay from Seattle United ECNL.

Midfielder Stella Nyamekye, who missed the African Games in March due to an injury, is back in the team.

The forward line is led by Mafia Nyame of AS FAR, with support from Salamatu Abdulai and Mary Amponsah of Ampem Darkoa Ladies.

Basigi believes that the team’s preparation and early arrival in Colombia will help them go beyond the group stage for the first time in their seventh World Cup.

In the past, Ghana has struggled to move past the group stage, but the positive mindset and readiness of the current squad offer hope for better results.

The Black Princesses are in Group E with Japan, Austria, and New Zealand.
