Ghana's Black Maidens have arrived in Rabat and are locked in for their Group C opener against Norway on Sunday.
Ghana's Black Maidens have moved from Casablanca to Rabat, and the countdown to the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup is on. The young Ghanaians head into the final phase of preparation with their Group C opener against Norway just days away.
That match is on Sunday, October 18, at the Mohammed VI Football Complex. Brazil follow on Thursday, October 22, and Canada close out the group stage on Saturday, October 24. It is a demanding draw that will test Ghana against opposition from Europe, South America and North America.
The squad spent two weeks in camp in Casablanca, where the technical team used international friendlies against China and Kenya to measure the players' sharpness and readiness. Now the focus shifts to fine-tuning, with the first training session in Rabat set for Wednesday.
The Black Maidens return to the global stage after missing the last edition, and they carry real pedigree. Ghana won bronze in 2012 and have reached the quarter-finals three times. This new generation will want to match that legacy, or surpass it, as the continent watches.
