Ghana's women's U-20 team are hopeful of getting a positive result from the first leg of their second qualifying round of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
The Black Princesses, who left Accra Wednesday night will play South Africa over two legs as Robert Sackey's U-20s chase one of the two slots available to the continent at the World Cup to be staged in Japan in August this year.
Eight countries including Ghana are involved in the second knockout round to be held between 30 March and 15 April 2012 after which there will be a last round of qualifiers to produce Africa’s two representatives.
“We have a mission to book a ticket to the World Cup, and we are focused on achieving that," Coach Sackey told ghanafa.org in a recent interview.
“Our main aim is to qualify for the world cup so it doesn’t matter how many goals we scored in the previous game. The most important game now is South Africa and we are determined to achieve the right result.
“South Africa is doing so much in women’s football and it wont be easy but we are very confident of winning the tie to qualify."
Ghana went through the first round qualifier after defeating Namibia in a 10-0 aggregate triumph with coach, Sackey is confident of guiding the Black Princesses to their second World Cup final after their debut in Germany 2010.
