The head coach of the U-17 national team, the Black Starlets, Ben Fokuo, has revealed that the team will be forced to merge a five-month training activity into just two months of preparations.
Ghana’s U-17 team broke camp in March following the COVID-19 outbreak, forcing a halt to all contact sports.
But with a month to go before the WAFU U-17 Nations Cup in Benin begins, the team has been called to camp to begin preparations.
“It has affected us a lot because we started camping around February, we had about 5 months to prepare as the competition would have been in July,” he told the GFA communications team.
“The pandemic has affected us a lot because now we have about a month to prepare the team and that is why the things we have to go through when there is enough time to prepare the team for a competition have been reduced to less than two months of preparation. .
“The players have been selected, selected and the camp had already started, so things that have to be done in five months must be done in less than two months, so we must accelerate to be well prepared before leaving.”
The WAFU U-17 Nations Cup will also serve as the qualifying competition for the Africa U-17 Cup of Nations next year.
