2024 Olympic Games: Black Queens begin qualifiers today against Guinea

The Black Queens of Ghana will begin their journey in the qualifiers for the 2024 Olympic Games to be held in Paris, France today.

The women are poised to book a ticket as they remain the only hope to represent the country at the world stage after the men’s team, Black Meteors failed to secure qualification.

In the first round of the African qualifiers for the women, the Black Queens are in action against their counterparts from Guinea in a first leg encounter to be played later today.

The Queens are starting the campaign with a tricky away fixture 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 tasks 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 is scheduled to kick off at 16:00 GMT at Stade de Generale Lansana Conte.
