Head coach of the Ghana U-15 girls, Joyce Boatey-Agyei, has vowed to win the 2025 African Schools Football Championship (ASFC) after making the final.
The Black Damsels sealed a place in the last two following a dramatic 3-2 win over defending champions, South Africa, at the University of Ghana Stadium on Friday, April 26.
The game saw Ghana score three goals for the second consecutive game before conceding their first two goals of the competition.
Having made the finals at the first time of asking, Boatey-Agyei says her players are already willing to put their lives on the line for Ghanaians.
“We really want to make Ghanaians proud. Look at how they have been cheering for us, look at how they have put their hearts into the hands of these young girls. We really need to let them feel that their cheers are not going to be in vain,” she told the media.
“We love them so much that we want to fight, kill ourselves for them to make them happy.”
She added that the players are also playing with the hunger to succeed.
“Also, the girls are determined to make a name for themselves. This is a developmental stage, once they are exposed to competitions like this and they are able to fight, it means they have a long way and better prospects ahead of them.”
Ghana will come up against Uganda in the finals of the competition on Saturday, April 26, after the latter recorded a 2-0 win over Morocco in the other semifinal game.
