AFRICAN GAMES: GHANA READY FOR ‘STRONG SIDE’ FALCONETS – COACH BASIGI
Black Princesses of Ghana head coach, Yussif Basigi says his team is prepared for battle against the Falconets of Nigeria.
The hosts will face their perennial rivals in the final of the women’s football event at the Cape Coast Stadium on Thursday night (today).
The encounter will kick-off at 9pm Nigerian time.
The Falconets have a 100 per cent record at the 13th African Games, winning all three games.
Chris Danjuma’s side have scored eight goals without conceding.
Basigi recognised the strength of the Falconets but reckoned his side have what it takes to beat their opponent.
“We vary our games and with the strength of the Nigerians, I think Uganda and Senegal are equally strong but we overcame them,” Basigi told a press conference.
“Nigeria is strong and technically good and we have what it takes to play against them. Playing against Nigeria is not new as I have played against the Super Falcons during my time as Black Queens head coach,” he said.
