France demonstrated that they are favourites for the title by comprehensively beating Ghana 4-0 in an international friendly played on Friday.

It took just 15 minutes for France to the ahead with forward Vicki Becho scoring. Seven minutes later, Becho doubled the lead with her second.

Forward Esther Mbakem-Niaro made it three for France three minutes after the halftime break and in the 75th minute, Laurina Fazer scored a penalty.

Falconets will face France in the opening group game on August 12th before playing Canada and South Korea later in the group. While France is getting ready by playing another West African side, the 2010 and 2014 finalists have not played any international friendly match in preparation for the World Cup.
