Head Coach of the Black Queens Yusif Basigi says he is pleased with the strength of his squad following the addition of a number of foreign based players ahead of the upcoming Women\u2019s 2016 Afcon in Cameroon.<\/p>\n
Ghana\u2019s senior female national team have been in camp for a good part of the last two months at the Ghanaman Soccer school of Excellence in Prampram.<\/p>\n
However their counterparts based outside the country including Samira Suleiman,Linda Eshun and Florence Dadson could only join the team in Ghana for the final phase of their training.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the arrival of the foreign based players the team has shot up,\u201d he told Citi Sports.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven though the home based players were doing very well and we have been impressed with their performances the coming of the foreign based players has given the team a massive boost.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can tell that the team has a future and with a little cohesion we will achieve what we want.\u201d The Queens are expected to play a final preparatory game in Cape Coast on November 12 against a select side after a scheduled friendly against Cote D\u2019Ivoire was abruptly called off. Ghana will face defending champions Nigeria as well as Kenya and Mali in Group B.<\/p>\n
