Tottenham Hotspur U-21 defender, Blue Bartlett-Antwi, has joined Ghana’s U-20 women’s national team ahead of their upcoming FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers.
The 28-player squad will report to camp at Prampram on Monday, May 5, and Bartlett-Antwi’s inclusion marks a significant boost for the team, especially after she missed the previous camp.
A commanding presence at the back, she is not only one of the tallest players in the squad, but also brings leadership and experience from one of England’s top academies.
Born and raised in England, the versatile central defender has had an impressive 2024/25 campaign.
After joining Spurs from the West Ham United Academy, she became an integral part of the club’s Under-21 squad in the Professional Game Academy League.
She was one of 24 selected players for the season, which included 15 new first-years.
Her footballing talent extends beyond mere defence. In April 2025, Bartlett-Antwi capped off the season with a goal in Tottenham’s 3-0 victory over London City Lionesses; a fitting finale to a breakthrough year for the young defender.
March was another high point. After coming on as a substitute, Bartlett-Antwi slotted into the team and made an immediate impact for Spurs.
She won a decisive penalty in a hard-fought league match, earning Spurs three valuable points after teammate Bailey converted from the spot.
More than just a footballer, Bartlett-Antwi is also a keen table tennis player, showcasing her athletic versatility and competitive spirit.
Her strong aerial ability, composure under pressure, and international exposure make her a significant addition to the Black Princesses squad.
With the World Cup qualifiers on the horizon, all eyes will be on this rising star as she dons the Ghanaian jersey for the first time.
