Published on: 15 May 2024

Ghana’s Black Starlets coach Laryea Kingston has no injury troubles ahead of their first match at the WAFU Zone B U17 Championship against Cote d'Ivoire.

The Black Starlets will take on their Ivorian counterparts at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 1600 GMT.

The WAFU Zone B U17 Championship will serve as qualifiers to the U17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) slated for 2025.

And Laryea Kingston and his charges will be aiming to secure a place at the AFCON for the first time in seven years.

Ahead of the opening game, the former Ghana international has confirmed there are no news of injuries in camp ahead of the much-anticipated clash.

This means Laryea Kingston will be able to field his best squad when they take on Ivory Coast due to their injury-free squad.

With Ghana's U17 team failing to secure qualification for the AFCON since 2017, there is heightened determination to end this drought by securing a top-two finish in the WAFU championship.
