By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde
Ghana women’s national team have named a 33-player squad ahead of this month’s friendly match against Japan.
The Black Princess which qualified for the 2024 Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) after missing out on the last edition hosted by Morocco is preparing for the tournament which the Confederation of African Football (CAF) shifted to 2025.
A formidable squad to face the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup champions was released including Grace Acheampong, Grace Asantewa, Princella Adubea, Evelyn Badu, and Doris Boaduwaa.
Other prominent players in the roster are Portia Boakye, Jacqueline Owusu, Comfort Yeboah, Vivian Konadu, Mary Amponsah, and Mavis Owusu.
The friendly match against the Nadeshikos is scheduled for July 13 in Japan.
The Asian side has been drawn to face Super Falcons, Spain, and Brazil in Group C of the women’s football event of Paris 2024 Olympics.
The nine time African champions have met two of their three group opponents except for Spain.
They are yet to record a win against Japan and Brazil in either competitive or friendly game which is a talk order for Randy Waldrum’s side ahead of the release of his final roster.
