The team left the shores of the country via Air Cotê D’Ivore at 10:00 GMT.
The travelling party includes Princess Owusu, the leading top scorer in the Women’s Premier League.
Also, Berlene Nyarko and Agnes Yeboah made the list as players from the lower tier sides Mfantsiman Royals and Combined Forces respectively.
The Maidens have never failed to make an appearance in the U-17 Women’s World Cup since the competition’s inception in 2008 and are one of the most consistent teams in the world, making the quarter-finals on the last three occasions.
Their opponents, Senegal, are yet to feature in the World Cup.
The first leg will be played in Dakar on March 3rd, 2022 with the return leg to be played on March 19, 2022, with the hope of grabbing one of the tickets for the global showpiece to be held in India from October 11, 2022, to October 30, 2022.
