Black Queens coach Nora Hauptle is overly excited after recording a victory in her first game for the Women national team.
Goals from Princess Owusu, Pricilla Adubea, and Evelyn Badu, gave the Women’s Senior National team the win in Cotonou on Sunday afternoon.
Nora Hauptle who took over from Mercy Tagoe about a month ago, has been charged with leading the team back to success after they failed to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations last year in Morocco, which meant they missed out on a spot in the Women’s World Cup as well.
“It’s always special to play a first game for me and also for the players in this group together. It has been a longtime since all those international scheme came in, so first all, it’s special for me and it’s always good to start with a victory but we also know we still have some work to do”
The Black Queens will now prepare for their next friendly game against Togo on Saturday, February 25.
The friendly games will serve as part of preparations for the 2023 WAFU B Cup of Nations and qualifiers for the African Women’s Cup of Nations in 2024.
