Black Queens forward Evelyn Badu believes Ghana have the focus and determination required to qualify for the FIFA Women’s World Cup, with the squad preparing for a crucial meeting with Cameroon.
Badu says the players are convinced that the time is right for Ghana to return to football’s biggest global tournament after years of missing out.
“We know this is the time for us to get to the World Cup,” Badu said.
Her comments underline the importance attached to the fixture against the Indomitable Lionesses, with Ghana’s hopes of reaching the next FIFA Women’s World Cup resting heavily on the outcome.
The Black Queens have stepped up their preparations for the decisive encounter, maintaining their focus as they seek a result that would significantly strengthen their qualification prospects.
Badu said the mood within the squad was positive, with the players united in their desire to perform against Cameroon.
“Everyone in the team is ready and looking forward to this game against Cameroon,” she added.
Ghana have been absent from the Women’s World Cup for years, making the forthcoming match an important opportunity for the Black Queens to move closer to a return to the international stage. The squad’s current focus is on producing a positive result against Cameroon and keeping their hopes of qualification firmly alive.
The forward’s confidence reflects the belief within the Ghana camp that this group can deliver at a key moment. While the fixture will be closely watched because of its significance, Badu said the team was concentrating on the task in front of it rather than looking beyond the contest.
Preparations have intensified as the Black Queens approach the encounter, which is expected to play a major part in determining Ghana’s prospects of securing a place at the next FIFA Women’s World Cup.
For the players, the match represents more than another fixture. It is a chance to make progress towards ending Ghana’s long wait for a return to the world’s biggest women’s football tournament. Badu’s message is that the squad is ready for the challenge and fully committed to achieving that objective.
Victory would provide a major boost to Ghana’s hopes and give the Black Queens further encouragement in their bid to reach the global stage. The team will therefore enter the meeting with Cameroon determined to turn its confidence and preparation into the positive result it needs.
