The Black Queens of Ghana have commenced their preparations for a crucial clash against the Copper Queens of Zambia in the Olympic Games qualifiers. The team held their first training session at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday, gearing up for the highly anticipated match.
Scheduled for Friday, February 24, 2024, at the Accra Sports Stadium, the match against Zambia is pivotal for Ghana's quest to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
During the training session, the players underwent rigorous drills and exercises to ensure they are well-prepared for the upcoming encounter.
Currently, 18 out of the 23 called-up players have reported to camp, with the remaining expected to join their teammates later in the week. The squad includes notable names such as Jennifer Cudjoe, Evelyn Badu, and former Arsenal midfielder Freda Ayisi, whose inclusion is seen as a significant boost for the team.
Coach Nora Häuptle and her team are aiming to maintain their impressive form and secure victory against Zambia. With an unbeaten record so far in the campaign and a total of 12 goals scored in four games, the Black Queens are determined to progress to the next round of the competition.
Having narrowly missed out on Olympic qualification in the past, the Black Queens are eager to fulfill their dream of securing a spot in the prestigious tournament, with hopes of making history for Ghanaian women's football.
