Laryea Kingson, the head coach of Ghana’s U17 national team, the Black Starlets, has described participating in the UEFA U16 Invitational Tournament as a good experience.
The Black Starlets participated in the tournament for the second time in Russia after also doing so last year in Serbia.
They lost their opening game against Russia by a 3-1 score line before winning the following two games with 5-1 score lines.
Speaking on his experience at the tournament, the former Ghana international was very satisfied with the takeaways from the tournament.
“It was very good experience for me as a coach to understand every part of the world, the way they play, the mindset of the coaches and all that all.
“For me, the take away has been very positive. We had a first loss since this technical team was put in place in a lot of games.”
The Black Starlets are now back in Ghana preparing for the WAFU Zone B Cup of Nations set to be held in Ghana.
They will open their tournament against Côte d’Ivoire and then face Benin in their second group match.
