Despite a challenging first-leg defeat to Zambia in Accra, midfielder Jennifer Cudjoe of the Black Queens remains resolute in her belief in Ghana’s Olympic Games dream.
Rachael Kundananji’s solitary goal secured an important away victory for the Copper Queens, setting up a crucial second leg in Ndola. With Ghana needing to overturn the result to qualify for their first Olympic Games, the pressure is on as the Black Queens prepare for the decisive clash.
In anticipation of the upcoming match, Cudjoe expressed gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support and urged them to continue backing the team.
“Thank you to all our amazing fans who showed out tonight. The task isn’t finished, and we continue to believe in the journey. Keep supporting us, and we will give our best in the next game,” she conveyed on X following the first leg.
Under the guidance of Swiss trainer Nora Hauptle, the Black Queens have shown resilience and determination, having lost only two matches under her tenure. With a strong second-half display in Accra, the team demonstrated their potential to bounce back and turn the tide in Zambia.
Despite the disappointment of the initial result, Cudjoe and her teammates remain focused and determined to seize the opportunity in Ndola and keep their Olympic dreams alive.
