Azumah Bugre, midfielder for the Black Queens, has issued a heartfelt appeal to Ghanaians, urging them to throw their weight behind women's football as the national team prepares for a pivotal Olympic Qualifiers encounter against Zambia later this month.
Bugre, expected to play a pivotal role in the upcoming match, stressed the significance of backing women's football to ensure its growth and success.
In a message directed to the citizens of Ghana, Bugre implored, "Hello lovely people of Ghana, this is your girl Azumah Bugre, player of the Black Queens. I want to use this platform to plead with all Ghanaians and football enthusiasts to show up in large numbers to support the Black Queens on the 23rd of February as we face Zambia in our next Olympic Qualifiers match."
Bugre firmly believes that with the united prayers and support of the nation, the Black Queens will triumph in the forthcoming showdown. She reiterated her call for sustained interest and encouragement for women's football nationwide, expressing optimism that, collectively, positive strides can be achieved.
Under the guidance of coach Nora Hauptkle, the Black Queens have showcased commendable performances, suffering just one defeat in as many matches. Having already secured qualification for the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), the team is now on the verge of clinching a spot in the Olympic Games.
With the first leg of the Olympic Qualifiers against Zambia slated for February 23, Bugre's impassioned plea for support serves as a rallying cry for national unity and fervor in rallying behind the Black Queens on their quest for glory.
