"I am here today with you to encourage you to be serious with your training and also to motivate you ahead of your qualifiers in January" ACP Lydia Donkor told the press.
She added: "Listen to your coaches, teamwork makes the dream work. Above all, unity and sisterhood should be your watch words; if you believe you can achieve".

He said this is the first of its kind, someone outside the team is visiting them since they opened camp.
