The head coach of the Black Princesses of Ghana, Yussif Basigi, has expressed his admiration for the Ghana Football Association’s efforts in the development of women’s football in the country.
The Ghana U20 women’s national team is currently in France, preparing for the upcoming African Games. Upon their arrival in France, Basigi took the opportunity to commend the domestic football governing body for their significant investment in women’s football.
Basigi was quoted by Wontumi FM as saying, “This FA is phenomenal. They are doing wonderful things, especially for women’s football. I don’t want to talk much because we’ve seen it, Ghanaians have seen it all and they should continue to do more because we were lacking behind but we are rocking shoulders with the men under this current FA.”
He also praised the incentives and capacity-building initiatives that the Ghana Football Association has implemented, noting that he has personally benefited from them.
“Now, I have no regret for coaching women’s football. This is my 21 years of coaching women’s football and I have no regret at all because of what the FA is doing. Even if I was thinking of quitting women’s football, I am now going to rekindle it because the current FA are doing massively well,” Basigi added.
