PURSUING A SHINING LEGACY: BUILDING FRESH SET OF BLACK SATELLITES (NATIONAL UNDER-20)

Whilst the nation continues to bask in the glorious feats of the Black Satellites, the Ghana Football Association, in its pursuit of consistent high levels of performance by the national teams, commissioned Coaches Desmond Ofei, Nii Odartey Lamptey, Salifu Fatawu and Isaac Amoako to scout for more talents that would augment the current crop of Under 20 players. The ongoing scouting activity has been necessitated by the fact that a number of the current squad are ready for promotion to the Black Meteors (National U23). In addition to this, the Technical team are looking to further strengthen the squad and deepen the pool of available talent.

The scouting team shall observe several matches in the Division One and Premier Leagues with the net being cast all over the country.

Additionally, three Mini-Tournaments involving selected players shall be organised in three zones, as follows:

Northern Zone: Upper East, Upper West, Northern, North East Middle Zone: Bono, Bono East, Ahafo, Ashanti, Savanna, Oti Southern Zone: Greater Accra, Western, Western North, Central, Eastern, Volta.

By the end of this phase of scouting for the national Under 20 team, a number of top talents would have been selected for further assessment ahead of putting together Ghana’s next generation of Black Satellites. With this approach, underpinned by identification of talents best suited to Ghana’s football philosophy (DNA), the needed foundation for continuing success would have been laid.
