Black Queens midfielder Freda Ayisi has set sights on her side overturning the first-leg deficit against Zambia on Wednesday, February 28.
Ghana will face Zambia in the second leg of their 2024 Olympic Games third-round qualifier in Ndola looking to advance at the expense of their hosts.
The Black Queens suffered a second consecutive defeat when they met the Copper Queens at the Accra Sports Stadium last Friday with Racheal Kundananji scoring the game's only goal.
Ayisi made her debut for Nora Hauptle's women during the game in Accra and was taken off after the opening 45 minutes.
Speaking ahead of the second leg, the Charlton Athletic player said, "It will be amazing for the team to go for the Olympics because it’s a big opportunity to show the world that Ghana can play football and also put us on the map again."
"I feel that the team is good, the team is doing well, it wasn't complacency that made us lose in Accra. We are focused, sometimes football can go either way and that’s what happened in the 1st leg."
The 29-year-old was also quizzed about how quickly she's adapted to the team after receiving her maiden call-up.
"I’m adapting and I feel like am doing well especially in training and that is the best way to adapt, just train and work hard with the girls and hope I will be on the same level and we can play football together permanently," she added.
The return leg of the tie will be played at the Levy Nwanawasa Sports Stadium in Ndola.
