The team will depart Accra on Thursday evening to Eswatni to chase a seventh consecutive appearance at the Biennial tournament in Colombia next year.

The game is scheduled for Sunday, November 12, 2023, at Somhlolo National Stadium in Lobamba for the return encounter six days later at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The players are, Afi Amenyaku, Amina Ahamadu, Najat Salam, Abiba Issah, Sarah Kulible, Takia Zakaria, Wasiima Mohammed, Success Ameyaa, Rose Boakyewaa, Fatimata Fuseini, and Salma Jaibril Sai.

Ghana beat Guinea Bissau 6-0 on aggregate to reach the third round of the qualifiers, and a win against Eswatini would see the Black Princesses join the final party in Colombia next year. 

The 2024 Women’s World Cup has been enlarged to 24 teams; with Africa getting four slots.
