In the Women's Olympic Football Qualifiers for the Paris 2024 Games, the manager of the Hong Kong women's football team Ricardo Rambo lauded Pakistan's women's football team for their efforts despite their 2-0 loss against Hong Kong.


In a recent Olympic qualifier, Pakistan, playing without its normal captain and striker due to injury, showed indications of development and defensive sturdiness as they contained Hong Kong in the first half.


However, Hong Kong won the game because of two own goals in the second half, eliminating Pakistan from contention for the Paris 2024 Olympics.


Ricardo Rambo, the manager of Hong Kong, hailed Pakistan's progress and tenacity despite the team's loss and praised it for its effort. He continued by saying that because Hong Kong had won, they had proceeded to the next stage of the competition.


"Great effort indeed and a great improvement from Pakistan Women's Football Team," Ricardo Rambo said on his Twitter page. Excellent outcome for Hong Kong! Let's get into the last game with equal chances versus the Philippines!"

The quote by Ricardo Rambo emphasizes the value of appreciating each team's efforts, regardless of the outcome, and encouraging good sportsmanship throughout the competition.
