Black Princesses, Maidens receive permission from gov’t to begin camping for WC qualifiers

Published on: 26 July 2020

The Black Princesses and the Black Maidens have received permission from the government to start camping ahead of their respective matches in the qualifiers for upcoming tournaments.

The two women national teams should have played qualifiers in the last couple of months but due to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, CAF decided that the games be postponed.

In the midst of the crisis as Ghana continues in its fight, the government has since March put a ban on football activities in the country.

Addressing the country on Sunday evening, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has announced that the Black Princess team as well as the Black Maidens team can resume camping to prepare for their qualifying games.

“Our female U-20 and U-17 national football teams have been given the clearance to go into their respective training camps to begin preparations towards their FIFA and CAF international sanctioned matches which begin in September.

“Whiles in training, the playing, technical and management teams must observe strictly to all the protocols issued by government, CAF, and FIFA against Covid-19", the President said.

The qualifiers for the Maidens have been scheduled for the middle of September and will be followed by the qualifiers for the Princesses.
