Head coach of Hasaacas Ladies FC, Yussif Basigi says the postponement of the CAF Women’s Champions League WAFU Zone B qualifiers is a blessing for him.
Earlier today, the West African Football Union postponed the Zonal Qualifiers for the maiden edition of CAF Women’s Champions League by a week.
The competition was initially slated to start on Saturday, July 17th to 30th.
The competition is now postponed to kick off from July 24 to August 5, 2021, in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire.
Speaking to Happy FM’s Odiasempa Kwame Oware on the Wamputu Sports show,Basigi stated. “The change of date for me is a blessing in disguise because some of my players have some knocks that we are working on so right now that we have a week more, they will be fit for the competition so yes it is a blessing in disguise for me.”
“ I have monitored our first opponent (River Angels). They are not a bad side but trust Hasaacas Ladies because we are equally good so they won’t find it easy with us the same way we won’t find it easy with them because they are a good side.”
“For me, every team is a good team. I learnt we have about three Ghanaians in the Niger team so it means they are doing well. Personally, I am ready for every team. I won’t change my approach because any approach I use against River Angels will be the same that I will use throughout.”
“Our automatic goal is to qualify for the main competition in Egypt. At the end of the competition, it will be Hasaacas Ladies and another club that will qualify.”
The team is still camping at the Ghanaian Soccer Center of Excellence-Prampram before leaving for Abidjan.
