Newcomer Freda Ayisi, who has been called up to the Black Queens, is confident that Ghana can qualify for the 2024 Women’s Olympic Games football tournament at the expense of Zambia.
The upcoming clash against the Copper Queens later this month will be a crucial third-round tie in the Olympic Games qualifiers.
Zambia, which was one of Africa’s representatives at the last Olympics in Tokyo, will be looking to maintain its spot in the prestigious tournament.
Ayisi, who is set to make her debut for Ghana’s national team, stressed the importance of confidence as they prepare to face Zambia.
“Yes, of course [we have what it takes to advance ahead of Zambia]. We have got to be confident in our ability,” said the Charlton Athletic midfielder in an interview with Joy Sports.
“We’ve got to go there with confidence and believe that we get the job done. When we get there, we are just going to be focused on the game and not focusing on outside noise.
“We just need to focus on the game and that is what is going to happen.”
The first leg is at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, February 23 and the reverse fixture in Zambia five days later.
