Published on: 02 June 2023

Yusif Basigi, coach of the Black Princesses, has told Ghanaians that his team would not succumb to undue pressure as they prepare for the highly anticipated WAFU Zone B U-20 Girls Cup final against Nigeria. 

Basigi emphasized the significance of having a positive mentality, stating that his goal is to inspire the young girls rather than burden them with expectations.

The Black Princesses of Ghana defeated Burkina Faso 3-1 in the semi-finals to set a final against Nigeria who defeated Benin 3-0 in the other semi finals game.

"We are not putting pressure on the girls and then every match and its tactical ploy. We have seen the Nigerians play and we know how they play they have also seen us play so we are going to map out our strategy," he said.

"In as much as they are also because they were here to watch we are going to map out our strategy better. We should see the way the played because if you look at the group stages our group is very tough so there is no wonder even though you have not seen us scoring many goals. But all the same you will see that we create a lot of scoring chances so lets see how it goes against Nigeria,"
