The Black Queens of Ghana will, today, play sworn rivals Nigeria in the semifinals of the on-going WAFU Zone B women’s tournament at 7pm instead of the initial 4:30pm advertised.
The change was communicated to the team at a Match Co-ordination Meeting held on Wednesday.

No reason was assigned for the change but is believed that it is intended to draw in the home fans for the Cote d’Ivoire versus Mali, and then keep them on for the second game between Nigeria and Ghana.
It will be the first time the Queens will play under floodlights at this competition as they played all their group matches at 4:30pm but acting Head Coach Mercy Tagoe Quarcoo says the change of time will not affect the team.

She also said the team is not shaken by the opponent.
“The ladies have not trained under floodlights but they are experienced enough to play no matter the conditions and Nigeria will not be a threat”, Tagoe Quarcoo told the press.
Ghana finished second in group A with Nigeria topping Group A to book this epic encounter.
