The Ghana U-20 women's national team are set for a one-week tour in Clairefontaine as part of an agreed partnership between the French Football Federation (FFF) and the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

The Black Princesses will leave Ghana on Saturday, February 10, for a tour of the historic home of the French national team.

The project, "Olympiqc-Ghana Go!", is being led by the French Embassy and is aimed at helping professionalise women's football for over 20 Ghanaian players, coaches, and referees.

The tour to France's National Football Center is expected to give Yusif Basigi's side exposure to some of the modern facilities and build them up for subsequent competitions.

Speaking at a reception on Friday, February 9, where the partnership was announced, the Vice President of the Ghana Football Association, Mark Addo, said: "This initiative aligns seamlessly with the GFA’s Women’s football strategy that aims at elevating women’s football in Ghana.

"It is a strategic move not just about participation but promoting excellence at the global stage and also extending the cultural and economic relationship that Ghana and France have enjoyed over the years.

"The qualification of the Black Princesses to the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia is a testament to how women’s football has developed in Ghana.

"The benefit of this program extends beyond football but about building bridges between cultures and fostering mutual understanding and showcasing football as a unifier.

"We are grateful to the French embassy in Ghana and the French Football Federation and all those who have worked tirelessly to make this project a reality."

The reception was hosted by the French Ambassador to Ghana, His Excellency Jules-Armand Aniambossouu, at the Residence of France.

After their time in France, the Black Princesses will return to Ghana where they are expected to represent the nation during the 13th edition of the Africa Games.
