Ghana’s Black Princesses will face Uganda on May 3, 2026, at the Accra Sports Stadium. Coach Charles Sampson is confident in his team’s ability to qualify for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
Preparation has been good. We’ve had a lot of time in Prampram because we’ve been in camp since the end of March, so we can’t complain, said Sampson.
However, he expressed concern about the absence of key player Comfort, who could not join the team due to club commitments.
This match comes as Ghana also hosts another significant event — the Accra Box Cup 2026. This youth boxing tournament aims to nurture emerging talent in Ghanaian sports.
Key details about the Accra Box Cup:
- 62 young boxers participated, including three girls.
- The tournament featured nine weight divisions ranging from 20–23kg to 44–47kg.
- Prince Larbie won the 41-44kg division.
The tournament aimed to identify and nurture the next generation of Ghanaian boxing talent. Sarah Lotus Asare emphasized the importance of providing a clear pathway from youth to elite boxing.
Participants will benefit from a one-year free health insurance scheme, further supporting their development. The event attracted around 3,000 spectators, showcasing local talent and community support.
As both events unfold, Ghana continues to highlight its commitment to developing youth sports across various disciplines.
