Hasaacas Ladies Football Club Brands Manager, Ohene Bampoe Brenya, has stated that things just didn’t work out as expected for the team despite making moves to mitigate the loss of four key players.
Hasaacas represented Ghana in the WAFU Zone B tournament as it bid to qualify to the CAF Women’s Champions League but missed out after failing to progress from the sub regional tournament’s group phase.
The Sekondi side lost 3-0 to Edo Queens from Nigeria, drew goalless with Burkina Faso’s Omnisport and hammered AS Garde of Niger 6-1.
However, the club missed out on qualifying from the group stage after spotting an inferior goal difference to Omnisport.
Speaking in an interview with Citi Sports, Bampoe explained that despite moves by the club to replace the injured Mukarama Abdulai and three players to Ghana’s Team at the 2024 FIFA Under 20 Women’s World Cup, things didn’t go as planned.
“Players need time to adjust into a new system, a new environment…so even though we brought in players, the quality is not the same, it took time for players to adjust, get used to the new environment so that really cost us. It’s not the fact that we didn’t anticipate or we didn’t see this coming.”
