Black Starlets

The Black Starlets have ramped up their training programme as preparations gather momentum for the upcoming U17 Africa Cup of Nations.

With the tournament drawing closer, sessions have become more demanding, reflecting the importance of this phase of camp.

Head coach Dr Prosper Narteh Ogum and his backroom staff are drilling the players with a clear focus on structure, intensity, and game intelligence.

Training routines now place strong attention on ball movement, quick transitions, coordinated pressing, and clinical finishing in the final third.

The technical team is also working deliberately on tactical awareness, ensuring the squad can adapt to different opponents and match situations.

Away from the ball, physical conditioning has been prioritised to build stamina, strength, and resilience for the rigours of tournament football.

Players are being pushed through endurance-based exercises designed to keep performance levels high across the competition.

Discipline and unity within the camp have also been reinforced, with emphasis on responsibility, focus, and collective sacrifice.

The coaching staff continue to remind the squad of the honour attached to representing Ghana at this level.

As two-time champions, the Starlets are targeting a strong campaign as they look to reassert Ghana’s status in African youth football.
