Black Princesses coach Yusif Basigi believes his team stand a chance of winning the 2017 CAF Women’s National Team of the Year award.

They tallied 20 goals in 4 games against Algeria and Kenya in the 2018 FIFA U20 Women's World Cup qualifiers.

The Princesses are in contention with Nigeria's U-20 and the senior national teams of Kenya, South Africa and Zimbabwe.

''I think the other contenders are doing well so we all stand the chance of winning the award per the performance of all the girls,'' Basigi said.

The winner will be decided by votes from the members of the CAF Technical & Development Committee, CAF Media Experts Panel and Independent Media and TV Consultants.

The Awards Gala will take place on Thursday, 4 January 2018 in Accra, Ghana.
