Ghana Under-20 women�s team coach Kuuku Dadzie is upbeat about the chances of his side to qualify to this year�s All Africa Games against much-fancied Nigeria�s Super Falcons. The Black Princesses need to a goalless draw against reigning African champions Nigeria to book the sole qualification spot from the zone after drawing 1-1 in the first leg in Abuja. Ghana lost a similar battle in 2004 during the Athens Olympic Games qualifiers by losing on penalties in front of a packed crowd after holding the Super Falcons in Nigeria. Dadzie, who took charge of the team at the Fifa Under-20 World Cup last year, says his charges don�t want to be second time unlucky. He told GHANAsoccernet.com: �We�re very much of what happened to us in 2004 and that�s what we�re working to guard against.� �We respect the Nigerians as the favourite because we�re playing against their senior side. But the girls have shown they can rise up to the occasion and won�t be complacent at all.� The Ghana Football Association has confirmed gates will be open free to soccer fans in a move attract thousands to the El-Wak stadium to support the team massively.
