The Maidens advanced to the final round without kicking a ball following the withdrawal of Congo Brazzaville.

Assistant coach Ben Fokuo says they are in top form for the difficult task this weekend.

“We have prepared very well and you know Maidens as always carry high expectations from Ghanaians so during our training sessions whatever we have been teaching them is working to perfection,” he told Joy sports

“We have played some friendly matches and the girls are doing very well so I’m sure we are ready for the game on Saturday.”

The winner over two legs will advance to the finals to be hosted by Costa Rica from 15 March to 5 April
