The Mourabitounes of Mauritania was scheduled to take on Ghana’s U-20 women, the Black Princesses, in the second stage of the African U-20 Women’s World Cup qualification match on September 25 with the return leg set for October 9.
CAF has however informed that it has received a correspondence from the Mauritanian FA announcing their decision to withdraw from the FIFA WWC 2022 qualification stage.
“We regret to inform you that we have just received from Mauritania FA a correspondence informing us of their withdrawal from FIFA U-20 WWC 2022. Consequently, matches 23 & 24 are cancelled as well as the missions of all designated officials.” – CAF communicated to GFA
With this development, CAF confirmed that Ghana U-20 women’s team have advanced to the third stage of the qualification following Mauritania’s withdrawal from the qualifiers.
“On the other hand, kindly note that Ghana is automatically qualified of the next round of the competition”, CAF stated in a letter sent to the GFA on Saturday.
