WAFU Zone B U-20 Girls Championship: Yusif Basigi admits selection headache ahead of tournament

Head coach of Black Princesses Yusif Basigi has admitted he is having a selection headache due to the quality of players at camp.

Ahead of the WAFU Zone B U-20 Cup of Nations scheduled to be hosted in Kumasi, Basigi has named a 20-woman squad for the first edition of the tournament.

Basigi’s side wrapped up their preparations on Wednesday in a friendly game against Niger at the Accra Sports Stadium where they secured an 11-0 victory.

The gaffer’s squad has the Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League second top scorer in Mary Amponsah, while Faith Ladies Maafia Nyame, Faiza Seidu and a host of other good players but Basigi says that would give him no problems in selecting his starting team.

“I am cool with [selection headache] because when you have good players it even calms your nerves,” the Black Princesses boss told Joy Sports.

“When your bench is rich that is where I think you can even make your best decisions in terms of selection.”

The tournament starts on Saturday, May 20.

The Princesses begin their WAFU Zone B campaign against Benin, who they have been drawn together with in Group A alongside Ivory Coast.
