Published on: 14 July 2023

Head coach Nora Hauptle has named a strong starting XI to take on Guinea in the qualifiers for the 2024 Olympic Games to be held in Paris, France.

Following the failure of the Black Meteors to secure qualification to the games, the women are keen on booking a ticket to Paris to represent the country.

In the first round of the African qualifiers for the women, the Black Queens are tasked to go past their counterparts from Guinea.

Experienced defender Janet Egyir captain's the side, Jennifer Cudjoe starts, and goalkeeper Findiib Konlan is in post for the Queens.

Ghana’s Black Queens are playing as the away side but remain poised for victory as echoed by head coach Nora Hauptle.

Speaking at a pre-match press conference on Thursday, the gaffer said her players know what to do to get a win away from home.

“We have different task given to the players. Everybody has a role, positioning and game plan that they need to stick on. I demand my players mostly to work with cohesion, support each other and fight for each other,” Coach Nora Hauptle said.

The Swiss tactician continued, “These are the tasks and they know what to do for a sure win tomorrow.”

The match between Guinea and Ghana will kick off at 16:00 GMT. The game will be played at Stade de Generale Lansana Conte.
