Black Queens forward, Mukarama Abdulai, is confident that the Black Princesses can progress from the group stage of the 2024 U20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia for the first time in history.

The Hasaacas Ladies forward made a return to the senior women’s national team after a forced injury absence for five years.

She has a lot of experience playing for the youth teams and featured for the Princesses on a number of occasions after winning the 2018 U17 World Cup golden boot.

“They've had great exercises like the WAFU Zone B Championship and then the 2023 African Games, so I believe they are there,” she told the media on Saturday at the Accra Sports Stadium.

“They need just some few weeks, they'll be ready. I think they'll do a great job and they'll go more than we usually do.”

The Black Princesses are in Group E alongside Austria, Japan and New Zealand.
