Ghana’s Black Queens head coach, Nora Hauptle, has decided not to renew her contract with the Ghana Football Association (GFA), citing frustrations over the organization’s inability to fulfill basic obligations. Hauptle, who played a crucial role in revitalizing the team, reportedly turned down the renewal offer after the GFA and Sports Ministry failed to approve $50,000 for two crucial international friendlies.

The Swiss coach has since accepted an offer to lead Zambia’s women’s national team, signaling a new chapter in her coaching career. Hauptle’s departure raises questions about the GFA’s commitment to supporting women’s football, particularly as the Black Queens showed promise under her leadership.
