Hasaacas Ladies captain Janet Egyir reveals celebration plans if they win CAF Women's CL

Published on: 19 November 2021

Hasaacas Ladies captain Janet Egyir says she and her teammates will go crazy if they win the maiden edition of the CAF Women's Champions League. 

The Ghanaian champions are on the verge of making history after reaching the finals of the competition, and have only Mamelodi Sundowns to beat to be crowned champions.

Ahead of Friday night's clash, Egyir opened up on her journey to becoming a football and with the tournament means to her.

“I left all the other sports for football, but I started playing with boys in school when I was a little kid. It was not easy, I did not have support in the beginning, but later on when I grew up, my uncle stood by me to achieve my dream of being a professional footballer," she told CAFonline.com.

“My team is very special! It’s a unique team, we do everything together.

“In the beginning, it was a rough route, and still is. But I kept pushing all the time to be where I am today. I urge girls to never listen to anyone telling them what they should and shouldn’t do.

“WCL is a dream come true for us. Every player in Africa dreams of such a chance. So, the first thing I’d do, shall we win this trophy, is thank God. Then I’ll go crazy with my team."
