Addo headlines Ghana squad for Turkish Women's Cup

Ghana announced their 18-woman squad for the 2020 Turkish Women's Cup, with Elizabeth Addo and Grace Asantewaa making the cut.

The Black Queens are making their maiden appearance at the tournament to be held from March 2 - 11 and will square up against fellow African's Kenya, as well as Northern Ireland B and Chile in Group B.

And to ensure a successful outing, Mercy Tagoe has named a strong team, comprising of 13 home-based professionals and five foreign players, including Spanish based forward Priscilla Adubea.

The Spanish and Lithuanian based duo of Ernestina Abamblla and Priscilla Okyere were left out of the squad despite their involvement in the 2020 Olympic qualifier with Kenya in October last year.

Tagoe's ladies departed for Alanya since Friday ahead of the tournament will be joined by the foreign-based players, including Logrono's Asantewaa and Sporting Huelva's Adubea on March 2. 

Ghana begin their campaign at the eight-nation tournament against Chile on March 4 at Starlight Sports Complex, before taking on Northern Ireland B three days later and Kenya on March 12.
