The Senior Women’s National Team, The Black Queens, left Accra for Conakry this morning ahead of the first-leg of their Olympic Games qualifier against Guinea.
Led by Head Coach, Nora Hauptle and management members, did leave Ghana in the early hours of Tuesday morning and are expected to arrive in Conakry later today.
Coach Nora Hauptle has named a final squad of 24 for the trip as Ghana eyes a place in next summer’s Olympic Games.
The two teams are expected to clash in Conakry, the capital of Guinea before the second leg game in Ghana a few days after as they target a slot for Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Hauptle invited 31 players for camping ahead of the all-important match-up but trimmed the size to 24 of which she believes are good enough to accomplish the mission.
“We had a week of pre-camp and training here at the stadium. At the moment over 70 players are playing abroad from the Black Queens and we are still partial scouting”.
“So we did a cutdown after the first week and had a friendly game against under-15 boys. They were very physical but we put them l in the tactical way like we expect Guinea to play. That was a very good game last Saturday. Now we start fresh and focused with our 20 plus three Keepers towards Guinea,” she stated.
