Owusu-Ansah, who captained the Black Maidens to their quarter-final feat at the FIFA Under-17 WWC in Jordan last month, is the only player from the tourney who made it in the final list of 21 players to represent Ghana’s Under-20 side.

In Papua New Guinea, the Princesses will have their Group C campaign against New Zealand on November 14, France on November 17 with the final group game against USA on November 21.

Goalkeepers: Victoria Adjei (ZFK Obilic, Serbia), Azume Adams (Ange IF, Sweden), Rose Baah (Samaria Ladies)
