This is in line with the GFA’s vision to continue the development of young players and to continue their progress at the right level.

The invited players will go through training sessions and will play some training matches while in camp.

The GFA will also look out for opportunities to give the players some international exposure by arranging friendly matches for the team.

Assistant U-20 Coach Samuel Boadu will begin their training sessions and will be assisted by Jacob Nettey with Issaka Amadu as Equipment/Welfare Manager.

After missing out of an opportunity to qualify to next year’s African Youth Championship in Egypt and a possible qualification to the FIFA U-20 World Cup, the GFA announced that it intends to arrange friendly matches and competitions for the players of the age category to continue with their development.

As a result, the U-20 team participated in the just ended Maurice Revello Tournament (Toulon Tournament) where the selected players got the opportunity to play against their counterparts from across the world.
