Intensive Training Session for Black Starlets in Rabat
The Black Starlets, Ghana's U17 football team, embarked on their first training session in Rabat on Friday afternoon, laying the groundwork for their upcoming international friendly against Morocco’s U17 squad. This crucial training, which spanned an hour and a half, was conducted at the A.S.S Stadium located in Salé, a suburb near the capital. Under the guidance of Coach Kassim Mingle and his technical team, the players engaged in a rigorous program designed to enhance their tactical skills and adapt to the new environment.
Preparation for Upcoming Challenges
During this session, the coaching staff not only focused on the players' tactical development but also took the opportunity to evaluate their physical fitness following their arrival in Morocco. This friendly fixture is particularly important as it serves as a platform for Ghana to gauge their team's performance against formidable opponents, which is essential in their preparation for the upcoming WAFU Zone B U17 Championship. This championship will also play a crucial role in the team's quest to qualify for the 2027 U17 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Black Starlets are set to face Morocco's U17 side on Saturday evening, marking the first of two friendly matches scheduled during their visit to Morocco. Following this encounter, the team will participate in a second friendly before concluding their tour and returning to Ghana on October 1, 2026. This series of matches is vital for fostering team cohesion and honing skills ahead of significant regional competitions.
