Executive Committee member of the Ghana Football Association Wilfried Osei Kwaku Parma has praised the Black Starlets for their performances at the just ended Africa under-17 championships.
The twinkle twinkle little stars were runners up at the championship after losing to West African neighbors Mali 1-0 in the final.
According the Tema Youth boss the boys fought a good fight in Gabon and he is proud of the efforts.
“The boys did well, they made us proud. People will remember Ghana for the impact we made. These are young players that are coming up. In terms of winning mentality, I think it’s there. There won every game but unfortunately lost out in the finals,” he told Happy FM.
“They made a very big effort to win it but unfortunately we lost that final. I will tell the boys they have made a very strong case for themselves. When you ask Toku, Ayiah, Leveh and Najeeb and the entire team they have done a household work? Let’s keep them together,”
However, the team picked one of the slots for Africa at the world Cup in India later this year which Parma believes they can win.
“They have the opportunity to go to the world Cup, they can win it. They have the opportunity to graduate to the under-20 and they can win that too. So it doesn’t mean things have fallen apart.We have to encourage them. We should not disband the team lets keep them together.”
