Black Princesses head coach Ben Fokuo says the team will be at good level for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica.

The Princesses suffered a 4-0 defeat to France in an International friendly at the Stade Pibarot Centre National du Football.

Ghana conceded two goals in each half as the Princesses wrapped up preparations for the World Cup Costa Rica 2022.

"After the France game, we had recovery training and the girls are responding to treatment and picking up gradually after the loss against France," coach Fokuo told ghanafa.org

"The tempo of the game with France was totally different from what we expected but now we have seen the problems and with training sessions we had, you can see that the players are picking up quickly and making sure they get their strength to the level of the competition.

He added: "With injury, we haven’t had any serious case after the game and today’s training has shown us that they are fit and ready for the tournament itself. We will play another match in Costa Rica, which will be our last match before the World Cup and we hope that we don’t get any serious injury in camp."

"We will train hard and make sure our strength and fitness level is on the level we want it to be at."

Ghana will open their group D game against the United State of America on Thursday, August 11, 2022.
