The Princesses will play the first leg away to the Algerians and host the second leg next week in Accra.
An 18-man playing team and officials will thus leave for Algiers on Wednesday for the match on Friday on an Astro turf and under floodlight.
After almost five weeks of camping at Prampram, Coach Yusif Basigi last Friday moved his training to the Asamoah Gyan Sports Complex at Accra Academy where he put his ladies through their schedule on the artificial turf and under floodlight.
Coach Basigi told the Daily Graphic: “ With our first game to be played in the evening and on artificial grass, it was important to make the girls have a feel of the condition before we leave for Algeria.”
This qualifying camapign will begin the Princesses quest for a fifth WWC appearance, having made their debut in the 2010 event in Germany and qualifying for subsequent competitions.
