Black Princesses coach Ben Fokuo says the weather conditions in Addis Ababa won’t affect his team in today's FIFA U-20 World Cup qualifier against Ethiopia.
Ghana held their official training session on Saturday at the Abebe Bikila stadium ahead of their first leg encounter.
The Princesses booked a place in the final round of the qualifiers with a 7-1 win aggregate over Uganda.
''We know the weather already and it is not bad. We had our official training and if you look at how the girls are working hard, you will know the weather is not an issue. The weather is not so different from what we are used to in Ghana”
He added that, the team has prepared very well in Ghana to make it to this stage of the qualifying campaign.

“The weather in Ethiopia is a little different from Ghana but we won’t have that in our mind. We are going to win and the weather condition won’t be a problem”
