Under Hauptle’s guidance, the Black Queens have showcased commendable form. Notably they qualified for their first Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) since 2017. The team’s success has heightened expectations as they prepare to face one of the powerhouses in women’s football on the continent.
Despite the team’s achievements, there are reports of owed bonuses to the players, with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) assuring fans that all outstanding bonuses will be settled before the upcoming game.
As anticipation builds for the encounter against Zambia, Ghanaians eagerly await the performance of the Black Queens, hopeful for another milestone in the team’s journey under Coach Nora Hauptle.
The first leg will take place on Friday, February 23 at the Accra Sports Stadium.
