The Black Queens may have suffered elimination from the 2024 Olympic Games qualifiers but they did that with their heads held high.
Ghana played out a dramatic 3-3 draw against Zambia in Ndola in the second leg of their third-round qualifiers for the games to be staged in Paris, France.
Not sure many expected the Black Queens to go to Ndola and put up that performance. Pure bravery!

Proud of the team’s progress I n the last year and kudos to Nora Hauptle for the good work she’s been on — too good Zambia fans are asking their FA to appoint her pic.twitter.com/mgrREHrZ4o
The result meant the Copper Queens advanced to the last round of qualifying with a 4-3 aggregate score having won 1-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium in the earlier meeting.
Despite the elimination, Zambian fans have found a positive to the performance of their opponent over the two games played in the last week.
They are particularly impressed with the management of Ghana coach Nora Hauptle who gave Bruce Mwape's side a run for their money until Barbra Banda's late strike.
Zambia fans have started calling on the Football Association to move quickly to appoint the Swiss trainer as a new coach for the Copper Queens.
