The Ghana Women’s U-20 team, the Black Princesses, secured a resounding 4-0 victory over Women’s Premier League champions Hasaacas Ladies in a friendly match on Friday at the Cape Coast Stadium.

This win marks a significant milestone in their preparation for the 2024 U-20 World Cup in Colombia.

Ghana is set to face Austria, New Zealand, and former champions Japan in Group E at the tournament, which kicks off on August 31.

The Black Princesses’ convincing win over Hasaacas Ladies bodes well for their World Cup preparations.
