The coach of the Ghana Women's National Team, Nora Hauptle, has made a bold statement regarding their upcoming match against the Copper Queens in the Olympic qualifiers. With an impressive record of nine wins, nine clean sheets, and 29 goals scored in nine games, Ghana's team is sending a clear warning to their opponents. Their recent 2-0 victory over Benin on home soil extended their unbeaten streak under Hauptle's leadership. This victory has secured their place in the third round of the Paris 2024 Olympic qualifiers, setting the stage for an exciting clash with the Copper Queens in February next year. Hauptle expressed her confidence in her team's readiness to face a formidable opponent like Zambia, emphasizing the importance of their development and preparation for the upcoming match. She highlighted the team's core values of teamwork, passion, and determination, which have been instrumental in their success. Each player is expected to fulfill their responsibilities, whether on the field or in a different role, and the team places great importance on continuous improvement through video analysis and individual feedback. The highly anticipated showdown between Zambia and Ghana is scheduled for February 19th and 28th, 2024, with the winner advancing to face either Morocco or Tunisia for a coveted spot at the Olympics. Notably, Zambia received a walkover in the second round due to Mali's withdrawal from the competition. Both teams will first focus on the Africa Cup qualifiers this month, with Zambia facing Angola and Ghana taking on Namibia.
