Black Satellites coach, Desmond Offei has made a bold statement ahead of the commencement of the Africa Games.
The Ghana U20 team will open their account on Friday against Congo in Group A at the Accra Sports Stadium before taking on The Gambia and Benin respectively.
Ghana have struggled in recent times at youth tournaments, failing to qualify for the Africa U20 Cup of Nations since 2021.
Ahead of the opener, the former Lokeren U20 coach has expressed his outfit is hungry and ready to deliver for the nation at the Africa Games.
“There’s no pressure. We are fully prepared and we really have a good squad and the boys are ready and hungry so we don’t feel any pressure,” he said at the pre-match presser.
“Our motivation is that we are the host country and that’s enough motivation for us. Secondly, we are Ghana, we are very hungry and ready to deliver. We just have to showcase our abilities and represent the country as best as we can,” he added.
In the group’s other game, Benin will face the Gambia on Friday.
