FIFA U-17 WWCQ: Morocco will not be pushovers – Coach Baba Nuhu warns Black Maidens
Black Maidens head coach, Baba Nuhu has warned his outfit not to underestimate Morocco ahead of the 1st leg of the final round of qualifiers for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifier.
Ghana are two games away from a record 7th appearance at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.
The Maidens knocked out Guinea to reach final round of the U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifiers after a 7-0 triumph in the second leg at the Cape Coast stadium to progress on a 10-1 aggregate.
“We have been on course after urging out Guinea but we needed to step up our preparations for Morroco because for them, to also eliminate Niger means they are also on course,” coach Nuhu said at his pre-match press conference.
“There are no minnows in Women football currently and for that reason, we are not leaving any stone unturned. After the Guinea match we have been in camp except for periods where some of the players are released to play for their clubs in the Women’s Premier League which goes a long way to put the players in shape as well.
“As a team the players are in good shape and the GFA and Ministry of Youth and Sports have provided us with the needed logistics to aid our victory.”
He added, “Every team at this stage is a threat and a potential World Cup candidate because we have all gone through series of matches to get here. We even played a friendly match with them (Morroco) before starting the qualifiers and they were not bad even though we won that game. This is a different game, a World Cup qualifier. I know it will not be easy but I believe my players will win.”
“We need the support and prayers of every Ghanaian. We know we have come this far not by ourselves but also with their support and prayers and we still asking them to continue to pray and support us to victory in this crucial two leg affairs.”
The Black Maidens are scheduled to take on Morocco on Friday, May 20, 2022 at 3:00pm at the Accra Sports stadium.
