Hasaacas Ladies are eyeing success in Egypt come November. Captain of the side, defender Janet Egyir revealed.

”We are pacesetters and we love making history so we want to go to Egypt and raise the flag of Ghana high,” she reiterated.

”We hope to win all the group games and progress to the next stage and eventually win the ultimate.

”My mates and I are very capable of winning this competition but if we get new additions to beef up the squad, that would be great. Getting two or three new players will help us a lot.

”We are totally capable of competing with other clubs from other countries. We play a very competitive and well organized league here and we are the best in Ghana and West Africa. We are not really scared of any club but we respect them because they did their best to get to the main tournament.”
