Black Princesses Head Coach Masud Dramani has said the team is unsure of emplaning to Papua New Guinea on Friday to prepare for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, scheduled for November 13.

Ghana has been drawn in Group C of the event alongside France, New Zealand and USA.

The Princesses have failed to qualify from the group stage in their last three outings at the global events.

The Sports Ministry has issues with funding after their bank account was frozen over an unpaid debt. Coach Dramani is unsure of making the trip to the tournament this week.

“We were expecting to have left here on the 28th but as I speak to you, the authorities have not spoken to us about our going,” the former Kotoko coach told Starr Sports.

“So we have decided to localize training session and when we have the opportunity to move out, we will go and polish our training with their facilities.”
