Black Princesses head coach Ben Fokuo has admitted that it's very worrying that they couldn't progress from the group stage of the U-20 world cup.
Ghana lost all three group stage matches; 4:0 defeat to United States of America, Japan beat Black Princesses by 2:0 and Netherlands won by 3:1 in the final game.
The Black Princesses have failed to progress past the group stage of the U-20 Women's World Cup for the sixth consecutive time.
Evelyn Badu, the teams captain, was ruled out of the competition due to injury.
Ben Fokuo says things didn't go as planned, as he insists that it's very unfortunate to exit at the group stage.
"This is the sixth time we have not been able to qualify from the group stage and it is very worrying," coach Fokuo said as quoted by ghanafa.org.
"When we were coming to this competition for the sixth time, we decided to make sure that we qualify from the group stage for the first time and later progress from the quarter final but it is unfortunate we lost all three matches and are out of the competition."
"We did our preparations and worked hard towards the competition but things didn’t go as planned."
"We will work hard and try again in the next edition and hopefully, the team will make it past the group stage for the first time," he added.
