Gifty Oware-Mensah, Chair of the Black Queens' Management Committee, has stated that she will reserve judgment on the team's coach, Nora Hauptle, until after her tenure with the national team.

, a Swiss trainer, took over as head coach of the women's national team a year ago, following technical changes that saw Mercy Tagoe replaced.

During Hauptle's tenure, the team has participated in 11 games, including 8 competitive matches and 3 friendlies, winning 10 out of 11 with just one defeat. They have scored 34 goals while conceding only two.

In an interview with Joy Sports, Oware-Mensah commended Hauptle's performance but emphasized the need to evaluate her once she departs, stating, "Nora has done well. I am not the type that goes out quickly to say people have done so well because until it's done, never say never.

“For football, it's a win, lose or draw. We will win some, lose some and draw some. So far if we are to rate her, she's done well but I will only rate her after she's left the stage."

The Black Queens are currently gearing up for the first leg of their third-round qualifier for the 2024 Olympic Games against Zambia at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, February 23rd.
