The female national team is on a nationwide tour as part of preparations for the competition to be staged in Ghana and have played a number of friendlies without some key foreign-based players.

However, some of the players have also left camp to secure contracts in Europe and are expected to return before the start of the tournament.

But the experienced gaffer claims he has enough in his pool of players to pick from insisting he has two sides he rotates within the camp.

“I am happy with the players so far, I think we need to economise their strength and energies,” Hayford said in an interview with AshFM.

“We have a bigger task ahead of us so it is important to reserve some energy. That’s why I have two teams. One set plays a game /half and the other set for another game.”He added.

The Black Queens played National Women's League champions Ampem Darkoa in a friendly on Monday which ended in a 1-1 draw.
