The Black Satellites begun training at the Ghanaman Centre of Excellence at Prampram where they engaged several teams in pre-tournament friendlies.
The tournament is open to players born after January 1, 2003, however, the Ghana Football Association has decided to use players who were born in 2005 as part of a conscious effort to build a solid team for the 2024 WAFU B U-20 Cup of Nations, the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations and the FIFA U-20 World Cup.
The decision is to maintain these players for at least one year for team cohesion and chemistry ahead of next year’s tournaments.
