13th African Games: Black Princesses pay courtesy call on Oguaaman Traditional Council

Ghana’s female U20 national team – Black Princesses – paid a courteous call on the Oguaaman Traditional Council following their arrival in Cape Coast ahead of the 13th African Games.

The group, which included the players and technical staff under the direction of Simon Ehomah, the Vice Chairman of the Management Committee, was to formally notify the council of their upcoming participation in the 13th African Games.

The delegation of the Black Princesses met with Omanhene Osabarima Kwesi Atta II, the head of the Oguaa Traditional Region, at the Palace.

As they readied themselves to represent Ghana, the team expressed their appreciation for the council’s blessings and support during the tour.

Omanhene Osabarima Kwesi Atta II stressed the value of discipline and following their coaches’ instructions in his speech to the players.

He gave the young players advice on how to play the tournament: with attention and determination.

”Football started in Cape Coast and so hosting the tournament here means you’re home. Indiscipline has let down lots of teams and so be disciplined on and off the pitch” Osabarima Kwesi Atta II said.

”Being disciplined will affect your performance positively on and off the pitch. Be attentive and listen to instructions from your technical team, that is the only way you will go far in your career. Give them the maximum respect as your leaders”.

”You are representing the country and so do your best to represent our country Ghana well. I will come to the stadium to support the team so you have my full support.

“Let the trust placed in you be reflective on the pitch. There are equally good players out there but you’re lucky and the chosen ones to represent the country. Play as a team and don’t be selfish. I wish you all the best and I know you will” the Omanhene added.

The Black Princesses will commence their campaign in the 13th African Games with a match against Ethiopia scheduled for Saturday, March 9th, at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.

Following their opener, they will face off against Tanzania and Uganda in the subsequent Group A fixtures.
