Frederick Acheampong, Chairman of the Black Starlets Management Committee, has expressed the team's goal of qualifying for the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
Ghana's U-17 team has been drawn in Group A alongside Ivory Coast and Benin in the upcoming 2024 WAFU Zone B championship, scheduled to kick off on Wednesday, May 15 at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
The tournament serves as a pathway to the 2025 U-17 AFCON.
Ahead of the tournament, Acheampong reiterated the team's ambition, stating, "The team's objective is to qualify for the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON)," he told Asempa FM as monitored by Footballghana.com.
"We aim to reach the final because that is what will secure our qualification for the AFCON. We have prepared well, and I am confident we will achieve our objective," he added.
The Black Starlets will start their campaign against Ivory Coast, followed by a match against Benin six days later.
Ghana has not qualified for the tournament since finishing as runners-up in 2017.
