Long-standing captain of Ghana’s Black Queens, Elizabeth Addo is back to the team after a two-year hiatus.
The star midfielder, who last appeared for Ghana in the 2018 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations on home soil, has been recalled to the squad for the upcoming Turkish Women’s Cup tournament slated for March 2-11.
Black Queens coach Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo appears to have opted for experience in her choice of squad of 18 players for the 10-nation invitational tournament.
Not only Addo is making a return but also defender Linda Eshun as well as midfield duo Sherrifatu Sumaila and Grace Asantewaa.
In attack are also comebacks for Princella Adubea and Priscilla Hagan who both missed the 2018 Women’s Afcon to injuries while former Maidens and Princesses captain Beatrice Sasu has also been included in the squad.
The Black Queens are expected to leave Accra for the Turkish city of Alanya by Monday, March 2.
They take on Chile in their opening match on March 4.
Ghana and Kenya are the only African nations participating in this year’s tournament which is also called Alanya Gold City Cup.
