Former Executive Council Member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Sammy Anim Addo, has praised Laryea Kingston for his impact on the Black Starlets.

Ghana's U-17 side has secured a place in the last four of the ongoing 2025 WAFU Zone Championship having recorded wins against Ivory Coast and Benin to finish top in Group A.

Having watched both games, Anim Addo believes the team would become world-beaters at some point in their career if they continue on the same path.

According to him, the former Ghana international is assembling a team that would go a long way to make history and represent Ghana at the highest stage.

"He (Laryea Kingston) is building these boys for the future and these boys would be able to fit in any team in the world if they continue with what they are doing because the systems, the game plan, game management and the mental toughness as well as the confidence on the pitch is there," he told Joy Sports.

"I can see a great future in these boys. I wouldn't be surprised and some of us want us to break that jinx where a boy can leave here straight and go to a team in Europe and get a chance.

"These boys can fit into any system and at the same time, they will grow to become great assets to the nation, from here to U20, to U23 and the Black Stars so I am happy to see what he's doing," he added.

The Black Starlets await their opposition in the last four after the two Group B games were postponed following heavy rains on Wednesday, May 22.
