They will also compete against Japan and New Zealand in the group stage.
The team’s goal is to reach the Round of 16 for the first time. Prior to their arrival in Bogota, they spent over a month training in Cape Coast and Accra, where they secured a 3-1 victory in a friendly match.
After arriving in Colombia, they played a goalless draw against Mexico and a 2-2 draw against South Korea in their final preparatory games.
