The Cape Coast Sports Stadium has been selected as the venue for the Women’s Football event in the upcoming 2023 Africa Games.

Ghana’s Black Princesses, current holders of the WAFU U-20 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title, are set to compete in Group A against Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda.

Subsequently, they will face Tanzania on Tuesday, March 12, before concluding the group stage with a match against Uganda on Friday, March 15, 2024.

Coach Yussif Basigi’s squad recently returned from a seven-day training camp in Clairefontaine, France, as part of an exchange program facilitated by the France Football Federation (FFF) and the France Embassy in Accra.

Ghana’s qualification for their 7th consecutive FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, achieved by defeating Senegal, underscores their status as a formidable force in women’s football on the continent.
