Black Starlets coach Paa Kwesi Fabin targets World Cup berth

Published on: 26 October 2016

Ghana U17 coach Paa Kwasi Fabin says their target going into next year's African Junior Championship is to qualify for the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup in India.

Ghana will play hosts Mauritius, Cameroon and Guinea in Group A at next year's tournament which will be held in Madasgascar.

The tournament serves as qualification for the World Cup and Paa Kwasi Fabin is eyeing that slot.

“Our target is to qualify for the world cup,' he said

“When I was appointed as the head coach, there were many problems and an example is the MIR scan that failed us and when we eventually had the players, the chairman told us that there will be MIR scan again.

“So those who had the grade five should not be allowed to go with the team and most of my regular players went out of the team.”

“When we got to Morocco, the players were above us in terms of age but I am very happy CAF came down and did their own inspection on the players.

“I am very confident that we will get some players that will make the team very solid because our sole aim is to qualify for the World Cup.”
