The Ghana Football Association (GFA) have confirmed that Black Satellites will continue their development despite being kicked out of the WAFU-B U-20 tournament.
GFA is putting in place measures to ensure that players of the Black Satellites will continue their development by lining up a series of friendly matches and tournaments for the team in order to progress at the right level.
Having missed out on a chance to play at next year’s Africa Youth Championship in Egypt and a possible qualification to the FIFA U-20 World Cup, the GFA intends to use these friendlies and competitions as preparations for the other national assignments.
