“We have been preparing very well for this match and I believe we have done what we have to do to win this match,” Sackey told www.ghanafa.org in an interview.
“The players are fit and well motivated to start this campaign and we will put the finishing touches on our preparations before this weekend.”
For the Black Princesses coach, every match in a qualifying campaign is of great importance, stressing the need to take each game seriously.
“It’s (the match) a very, very important match for us. It’s a World Cup qualifier and it’s also our first home game so we are taking it very seriously.
“In World Cup qualifiers, every game counts.”

Namibia Women U/20 prepares for Ghana

A squad of 25 players was announced this week in Namibia and includes seven under-17 players, as their girls vie for the final 18 players on the flight to Accra for the February 18 match. According to the NFA coach for women football Jacqueline Shipanga, the idea of including the under-17 players, who played during their u17 lost in South Africa on Saturday, stemmed from the Namibian footbal association NFA 2014 Strategic Plan which is aimed at broadening the pool of players for national team selection through talent identification and nurturing under the guidance of acute coaches as well. The new players into the team include the likes of Lena Noreses, Lorraine Jossob, and Albertha "Chicken" Dawes, who are deadly on a good day.

These coaches are Joseph Swartz, Blacky Tjingaete and goalkeeper coach Herman January, the latter having played recently played for the SKW and Orlando Pirates in South Africa . Shipanga explains that these coaches have demonstrated the level of commitment towards the women’s desk through various projects during the past few years such as availing themselves to coach various local teams in the Women Super League. She adds that the most important aspect for consideration was that some of them (coaches) are also in the teaching profession and thus making it easier for them to work with girls and youth. Ghana should be very careful and put in all necessary srategies to tame this youthfull Namibians
Here is their women under 20 squad:
Agnes Kauzuu, Hertha Shimuketa, Janeth Shidolo, Jessica De Oliveira, Lovisa Mulunga, Eddelissingh Naris, Lena Noreses, Lorraine Jossob, Vitapamwe Kamahene, Veweziwa Kotjipati, Albertha Dawes, Thandi Malo, Annouscka Kordom, Anuschka Meyer, Mellisa Matheus, Tuliki Mundjele, Carmel Don, Tomalina Adams, Mavulu Selma, Vistorine Shaangula, Depney Naobes, Juliana Blou, Jane Toivo, Monique Khrone and Samantha Hendricks.
