President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Kurt Okraku has lauded the performance of Hasaacas Ladies at the WAFU Zone B tournament and the CAF Women's Champions League.
Hasaacas won the WAFU Zone B title but finished as runner-up in the maiden edition of the Champions League in Egypt.
The Ghanaian champions ended 2021 with five trophies following victory over Ampem Darkoa Ladies in the maiden First Lady’s Cup
"Let me use this opportunity to say kudos to Hasaacas Ladies, especially to the leader of the team uncle NAB we call him, to Evelyn Nsiah, to Coach Yusif Basigi, and to all the players led by Jenet Egyir," Kurt Okraku told ghanafa.org.
"They have made themselves proud, they’ve made me proud, and they’ve made Ghana football proud. It encourages me; it encourages the Executive Council to do more for Women’s football. They have just reconfirmed what we’ve all believed in. That Women’s football if encouraged will take Ghana to a level that we all desire. Don’t forget that in 1999 the Black Queens were the first to take Ghana to the senior World Cup.
"They were the first senior Ghana team to take Ghana a senior world cup. So they’ve shown that if we give them the right level of support they can deliver and the performance of Hasaacas Ladies gives us believe that it can be done.
"Also tells all of us that our Women’s League is of the highest quality. And this year the Women’s Leagues are going to receive more attention by way id sponsorship, they are going to be more visible on free to air TV through our partnership with MaxTV. Live games will be available for everyone to watch. I think this is the highest level of motivation we can offer our girls who belong to that industry.
