When Black Queens play Zambia in the second leg of their Olympic Games qualifying match in Ndola, Black Queens Nora Hauptle thinks the team can pull off an upset.
On Wednesday, February 28, the two teams will play each other again in the second leg of their third-round qualifying match for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.
Ghana is in danger of losing after the Copper Queens won 1-0 in their previous encounter on Friday, February 23 at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Hauptle, though, is supporting her team to upset the 2023 Women’s World Cup players.
If there is something unusual I saw at the Accra Sports Stadium last Friday, it definitely was the demeanor of the Black Queens 🇬🇠after Racheal Kundananji scored for Zambia.

“Unfortunately we couldn’t deliver or succeed against Zambia in the first leg, but we have the second leg against Zambia,” the trainer from Switzerland stated.
“I think when we put one goal in, it will explode down there and then we back in April for the fourth round against Morocco and then I hope that the stadium [Accra Sports Stadium] here is cooking and we can get a sold-out stadium.”
As the team from Ghana arrives in Ndola, preparations are underway for the rematch with Zambia. Following the loss at the Accra Sports Stadium, the team immediately departed Ghana.
While attempting to make their first Olympic Games appearance, the Queens are also aiming for their first football appearance for Team Ghana since the Black Meteors in 2004.
