Coach of the side Yusif Basigi, noted in an interview with GNA Sports, before the final qualifier that his team was well prepared as the first leg results put the team in a good position to urge out the Cameroonians.

“My team is mentally prepared for the task ahead, the girls know what it takes to get to the World Cup and they would deliver come Saturday.

The Black Princesses would be hoping for a successful tournament in France after exiting the tournament in Papue New Guinea in 2016.
