Ghana’s senior women’s national team is set to play against Guinea in an away match on Friday, July 14, at the Stade General Lansana Conte in Nongo, Conakry, at 16:00 GMT.
Speaking ahead of the crucial game, Eshun, who plays for Hasaacas Ladies, acknowledged the recent underperformance of the Black Meteors team in the U23 AFCON held in Morocco.
However, she emphasized that the Black Queens would learn from that experience and strive to surpass expectations in their upcoming matches.
“The team is focused and only needs the support of Ghanaians to deliver in this Olympic campaign,” she said.
“We play to win as we all want to aim high and again we want to go forward too and my coach, Nora has brought in so many things into Black Queens to push us forward and to be competitive,” she added.
“I believe our men’s U-23 team did well. This is football and anything can happen. They did whatever they have to do to qualify but unfortunately, it did not go as planned,” she stated.
A group of 23 players and 12 officials embarked on their journey from Accra to Conakry for the first leg.
