Former Black Queens coach Yusif Basigi has been named as
the new head coach of the Black Queens B team, marking a
significant step in strengthening the technical leadership of the
women’s game.
Basigi, who previously guided the Black Queens and the Black
Princesses, brings a wealth of experience to his new role. He has
also coached Hasaacas Ladies in the Women’s Premier League,
demonstrating his ability to develop and mentor young female
footballers.
Basisgi who previously coached Simba Queens in Tanzania is one
of the two coaches the GFA sent to Germany to expand their capacity
in 2022 and has been a pivotal figure in the women’s game for
decades.
He will be supported by an experienced technical team. Former
Black Queens goalkeeper Dora Zuta has been named as assistant
coach, while former Asante Kotoko and Black Stars goalkeeper Isaac
Amoako will handle goalkeeping duties. Aboagye Dacosta has been
appointed as Athletic Coach, with Memunatu Mumuni taking up the
role of Equipment Officer and Princess Amoako serving as the team’s
Welfare Manager.
On the medical side, Dr. Baah Christiana will lead as the Team
Doctor, assisted by Rabiatu Abubakar as Team Masseur and Gyamfuaa
Ampomah as Physiotherapist. This diverse backroom staff is expected
to provide the necessary technical and logistical support to
elevate the performance of the Black Queens B. The appointment of
Yusif Basigi and his team reflect the GFA’s commitment to building
a strong pipeline for women’s football in Ghana. The Black Queens B
serves as a critical link between the youth national teams and the
senior Black Queens side, offering a platform for emerging talent
to develop and break into the senior ranks.
The Black Queens B is the home-based version of the female
senior national team of Ghana, the Black Queens. It serves as a
critical platform for locally based players to showcase their
talent and develop for future national and international
assignments.
