“We had issues with four of our players who needed the consent of their players before they will be granted visas. Thankfully everything has been sorted out and we are hopeful of leaving on Monday“.

Nana Benyin also revealed that the team will spend two days before landing in Australia. He also stated that its 32- man contingent with 21 players, 8 from the technical committee and 3 management committee members.

The Princesses will be making their fourth appearance at the tournament with the hope that for the first time they will advance to the quarter finals of the competition
