Ghana’s Black Satellites have left for the upcoming CAF U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament to be staged in Egypt.
Desmond Ofei and his players, as well as the technical team, left the Kotoka International Airport on Saturday, April 19, ahead of their participation in the competition.
This comes following months of preparations after booking a return to the continental stage following their second-place finish at the WAFU B qualifiers last year.
The Satellites finished behind eventual winners Nigeria during the tournament in Togo.
16 players travelled with the team on Saturday, with some foreign-based players also expected to join them in Egypt for the competition.
Prior to leaving for Egypt, the team met the president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, on Friday.
Ghana is in Group C alongside defending champions Senegal, DR Congo, and the Central African Republic
With 13 teams competing across three groups from April 27 to May 18, the Black Satellites face a demanding schedule that could lead them through the quarterfinals, semifinals, and ultimately, the final.
The tournament is also the qualifiers for the next edition of the FIFA U-20 Men’s World Cup.
