Black Queens Head Coach Yusif Bassigi believes early preparations is the only way out for Ghana to host and win the 2018 African Women’s Championship.

Ghana defeated South Africa 1-0 to pick bronze at this year’s competition in Cameroon.

After a successful organisation by Cameroon, the baton has now been handed to Ghana.

Coach Basigi reckons early preparations from the country will help them end their long wait for an African title.

“It has been a successful tournament and one key thing i picked from here is that they started preparing early preparations,” said

“They had a long term plan and i must say it really paid off, we have to learn from this if we want to host and win.

“We must start preparations now, the government and everybody involved must get to work so we can also have a successful tournament in 2018.”

Nigeria defended their title as they defeated Hosts Cameroon 1-0 on Saturday in Yaonde.
