Ghana FA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi expects the Black Maidens to win the best Women’s Team at Thursday’s GLO-Caf award.
The country’s female Under-17 team surprised the world when they clinched bronze at the 2012 FIFA Under-17 World Women’s Championship held in Azerbaijan.
The Ghanaian put up a sterling performance at the world showpiece where they beat former champions Germany in the third-place play-off match to win bronze.
The team must fend of competition from African Women’s Champions Equitorial Guinea and Nigeria.
But the country’s football chief has no doubt in his mind the Maidens will win the award.
“The Maidens will be robbing shoulders with African champions Equitorial Guinea but considering what the Maidens has achieved in Azerbaijan, I believe we stand tall,†Nyantakyi said
The GLO-CAF awards will be held at the State Banquet Hall in Accra where the continent’s finest footballer will be crowned.
Ivorian duo Didier Drogba and Yaya Toure are the front runners for the individual accolade.
