Black Queens push for AWC second round place
With a resounding first leg victory, Ghana are
hoping to continue that trend as the Black Queens
host Burkina Faso in the 2014 African Women’s
Championship.

Ghana won the first leg 3-0 in Ouagadougou, a
fortnight ago.

The Black Queens will on Saturday attempt to reach
the second round of qualifiers and edge closer to
picking one of the seven spots available for a
place at final tournament to be staged by Namibia
in October later this year.

Coach Yussif Basigi's side remain determined to
win the tie as Ghana bid to return to Africa’s
flagship women’s football tournament after
missing out of the tournament for the first time
in 2012 since the inception of the biennial
championship in 1998.

The Black Queens will go into the return leg in
Accra with a three-goal advantage, as they attempt
to return to the Championship after missing out
for the first time in 2012 since the inception of
the biennial tournament in 1998.

The winners of the two-leg first-round matches
will progress to the second round to join African
champions, Equatorial Guinea, South Africa and
Cameroon, who all drew a bye.
