The Black Queens, three-time runners up have failed to come out of their group in 2008 and 2010 before failing to qualify for the 2012 tournament.<\/p>\n
And when they open their group campaign against Algeria as they return to the Championship, the hopes of Basigi will be to get off to a flying start at the Independence Stadium in Windhoek.<\/p>\n
After graduating through the youth ranks, players like Faiza Ibrahim, Samira Suleiman, Elizabeth Cudjoe and Mercy Myles carry the hopes of an expectant nation.<\/p>\n
