Ampem Darkoa Ladies midfielder Linda Owusu Ansah says the club is still focused on winning the 2023 CAF Women’s Champions League despite the win over ASFAR Club last Monday.
According to the midfielder, her teammates have put behind them the excitement of beating the defending champions in their opening game at the tournament despite the buzz.
Ansah noted that her side’s ultimate objective is to emerge winners of the competition at the end of the day having opened their maiden appearance in the tournament with a 2-1 with over the Moroccan side.
