Assistant Coach of the Black Satellites Fatawu Salifu has declared the teams’ readiness for the Africa Games, which kick starts on Friday, March 8, 2024.
The Ghana U-20 side will face Congo in Group A opener at the Accra Sports Stadium on commencement day at 3pm before taking on The Gambia and Benin respectively.
"We are putting a lot into these boys, and it all comes from the head coach Desmond [Ofei]," stated Fatawu Salifu in an interview with the Ghana Football Association media.
"We did so much in our preparation period, and I must say that Ghana is ready and very confident in representing the country so well."
Salifu emphasized the team's focus on the tournament, recognizing the competitiveness of African football.
"Looking at football now, I think that names don't play again. If you look at what happened in the Africa Cup [AFCON], you would, of course, know that every country here is ready for the competition. I don't want to say we are looking at one particular country, but we are ready for all the countries."
Ghana's technical team, led by coach Desmond Ofei and supported by assistant coaches Fatawu Salifu and Nii Odartey Lamptey, aims to guide the Black Satellites through a challenging tournament, showcasing the talent and determination of the young players.
