Black Queens coach, Nora Häuptle, recently traveled to France to scout talented midfielder Mia Irene Gyau in the French Arkema Premiere League match between Reims and Nante at the Stade de Reims.
This move highlights Coach Häuptle’s ongoing quest to identify skilled and talented players for the senior Women’s national team ahead of the rescheduled 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
During her trip, Häuptle held productive discussions with Mia Irene Gyau, whose grandfather, George Gyau, formerly played for the Black Stars. This family connection may inspire her to join the Black Queens. In recent weeks, Coach Häuptle also observed, Josephine Bonsu who plays for Carl Zeiss Jena in the German Women’s Bundesliga as well as Princess Owusu of Turkish club Ünye Kadin FK.
Nora Häuptle plans to continue monitoring top performers to strengthen the Black Queens’ squad for the 2025 TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations slated for Morocco.
