Again, the CEO pleaded with the government of Ghana to secure jobs for the Hasaacas Ladies in order to reduce the burden on the team since the Ladies usually train only in the mornings and evenings.
She added that Confederation of African Football (CAF) has requested that the footballers be paid monthly to make it very professional. Mrs. Nsiah Asare also outlined other challenges the Team is facing such as the lack of quality football pitches for training, transportation amongst others.
”We need an Astroturf”, she noted.
Mrs. Evelyn Nsiah Asare, CEO of Hasaacas ladies concluded by saying that “H. E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo if you are watching us this morning, we want to meet you and have breakfast with you”.
