Black Princesses head coach, Yusif Basigi, says the target of the team is to win the gold medal at the ongoing 2023 African Games.

Ghana's U-20 national female team recorded their second win of the women's football competition in Group A against Tanzania on Tuesday which has propelled them to book a place in the semifinal with a game in hand.

Despite their winning run, the Black Princesses have not enjoyed the best of spells. Basigi says the team is gradually finding their rhythm.

"We want to win; that is why we are competing," said Basigi when quizzed about his target at the end of the game. "We are on course. You may see the team not stable but we are on course."

"We have a little bit of challenges but we are managing and I know we will find our rhythm. That is why in the first half you saw we were a bit shaky because when you don't have the complement of the team and you keep changing this is what happens.

"As and when we progress then you will see that then you see we are coming up. So yes, the mission is still on course."

Yusif Basigi's side beat Ethiopia in their first game at the Cape Coast Stadium. Ghana is looking to reclaim the gold medal it won during the last two editions of the Games in 2015, where they were represented by the Black Queens.
