Black Queens head coach Yusif Basigi is set to name his final 21-squad list for the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

The tournament which starts on November 19 will see Ghana battling it out with Kenya, Nigeria and Mali in Group B.

The women’s senior national team had a full house on Tuesday evening as all the foreign-based stars have arrived.

Elizabeth Addo, Portia Boakye and Florence Dadson were the only three foreign-based stars left but all three were around when the Queens thrashed Ideal Ladies by 8-0 on Tuesday afternoon at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Currently, 30 players are in camp and Basigi is expected to drop nine of them to get his final 21 for the tournament.

Ghana is supposed to send the list of 21 players to CAF by the close of Wednesday.
