Ghana’s under 17 male team, the Black Starlets have earned qualification to the 2017 African U-17 youth championship to be staged in Madagascar.
The Starlets had beaten their Ivorian counterparts 3-1 at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium in the first leg and managed to hold them to a goalless drawn game in Ivory Coast on the return leg to book qualification.
The Starlets qualified the last time around but inconsistencies in the MRI scan of the players led to them being dropped over claims over-aged players were fielded to gain advantage of over opponents.
