The Ghana team wrapped up the country’s third title at this level with a 2-0 win over Cameroon in the final, and say they will be expecting a warm welcome when they return to the Ghanaian capital on Tuesday.
Ghana last won the Africa Youth Championships in 1999 so naturally, the Ghana camp was a happy one after they had beaten Cameroon at the Amahoro.
Coach Sellas Tetteh said his team will expect a warm welcome after entertaining Africa.
“I know Ghana will welcome us. We have entertained Africa with beautiful football, great technique, and overall the best all-around team. We deserved it seriously,” he told KickOffGhana.com.
The team is likely to head straight to the seat of government to hand over the trophy, to football-mad President John Evans Attah-Mills.
Ghana was by many people’s accounts the best side at this tournament. They scored the most goals; eleven in five games, and kept clean sheets in three out of their five games.
Ransford Osei took the top scorer honors with seven goals, hitting three braces in the wins over Rwanda, South Africa, and Ghana.
