Ghana’s U-20 team held their final preparations for the highly anticipated 2025 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with an intense first training session at the Suez Stadium in Egypt.
Head coach Desmond Ofei and his squad arrived in Egypt on Wednesday and conducted their last training session ahead of their clash with DR Congo.
The team touched down with a 25-man playing squad, 13 technical staff members, and some officials from the Ghana Football Association’s management committee.
The Black Satellites will face DR Congo in their Group C opener on Friday at exactly 18:00 GMT, as scheduled by CAF.
The 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup champions will be aiming for a return to the global stage, having missed out over the past decade.
Ghana is drawn in Group C alongside DR Congo, defending champions Senegal, and the Central African Republic.
The tournament also serves as a qualification pathway for the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile, scheduled for November.
