Head Coach of the Black Queens Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo has named a squad list of 22 players for the African Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON) qualifiers against the Super Falcons of Nigeria.

The list includes four foreign-based players with Israel based defender Blessing Shine Agbomadzi making a return to the squad.

Portia Boakye and Spain-based duo Princella Adubea and Grace Asantewaa completes the list of foreign based players invited for the hurdle.
