Black Queens forward Abdulai Mukarama is eagerly anticipating her debut for the senior women’s national team in their upcoming international friendly against Japan.
The team will head to Tokyo next week to face the former world champions as part of their preparation for the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations next year.
Mukarama, who played a crucial role in leading Hasaacas Ladies to victory in the women’s league, earned her call-up to the Black Queens for this important trip. Speaking during training in Accra, Mukarama expressed the team’s readiness and determination.
“This will be a valuable exercise for us. We’ve been working tirelessly to reach the pinnacle of women’s football, and facing Japan is a significant step,” Mukarama stated. “We intend to give our all. While the result isn’t the primary focus in this friendly, we aim to assess our performance and meet the coach’s expectations.”
