Yusif Basigi sets minimum target of semifinals for Black Queens

Black Queens head coach Yusif Basigi has targeted at least a semifinal berth for his side at the upcoming African Women's Championship.

The female senior national team confirmed their participation at the tournament after securing a 6-1 aggregate win over Tunisia.

After leading the Queens to win gold at the African games, many have touted Basigi’s side as favourites to clinch the African Women’s Championship.

However, the Hasaacas coach is eyeing a place in the last four as their minimum target.

"The tournament is seven months away from now and it will be too early to say we are going to win it. We have to get there first," he told the media after the game.

"Our main target for the competition is the semifinal stage. After getting to that stage, we will then set a new target," he added.

The Championship, which will be the 12th edition, will be hosted in Cameroon between the 19th of November and 12 December.
