GFA is putting in place measures to ensure that players of the Black Satellites will continue their development by lining up series of friendly matches and tournaments for the team in order to progress at the right level.

Having missed out on a chance to play at next year’s Africa Youth Championship in Egypt and a possible qualification to the FIFA U-20 World Cup, the GFA intends to use these friendlies and competitions as preparations for the other national assignments.

The team is expected to return to Accra on Monday after being knocked out of the WAFU- B U-20 Championship in Niamey, Niger on Saturday.

The defending champions failed to secure a point in the competition after losing 2-0 and 2-1 to Nigeria and Burkina Faso respectively in the group stage.

The defeat leaves Ghana without a point and out of the zonal qualification competition.
