"Tomorrow is important. It's the start of the WAFCON (for us). The girls are ready and excited; we've been waiting for it, and we have prepared really well," she said.

"We had a good time out here last year, so now we are prepared to come back and do our job. We are ready to get going."

The Black Queens will hold their final training session on Tuesday evening before Wednesday's test. The game against Cape Verde kicks off at 17:00 GMT.
