With a crucial 2024 Olympic Games qualifier against Zambia on the horizon, Black Queens head coach Nora Hauptle took the time to applaud midfielder Freda Ayisi for her dedication to representing Ghana on the international stage.
During an interview at a training session held at the Accra Sports Stadium, Hauptle expressed her admiration for Ayisi’s decision to play for Ghana, noting the midfielder’s strong ties to her home country.
Despite having other options available, Ayisi, who currently plays for Charlton Athletic, opted to commit to representing Ghana, a choice that Hauptle praised.
The head coach stressed the significance of players like Ayisi who not only possess skill on the field but also show a deep sense of national pride.
“We are working to identify Ghanaians based in England who have Ghanaian roots, and Freda is one of them. She is proud to wear the Ghana jersey and play for our country. She is a talented footballer, and we are also scouting for four or five other players,” Hauptle shared with Citi Sports.
“It’s a process to bring them into the team, but I am pleased that she has shown her commitment and has a genuine love for Ghana,” she added.
