WAFU B U-17 Championship: Prosper Narteh Ogum 'positive headache' ahead of opener against Togo

Black Starlets head coach Dr Prosper Narteh Ogum has admitted a selection headache ahead of their 2025 WAFU B U-17 Championship opener. 

Ghana will kick off their campaign with a Group A opener against Togo later today at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium in Yamoussoukro.

After intense preparations for the tournament, Dr Narteh Ogum, speaking ahead of their opener, said all the 23 players selected are ready to compete for a place in the starting role.

According to the former Asante Kotoko and WAFA boss, this creates healthy competition within the team and raises the standard.

“It’s a headache, yes. But for me, it’s a positive headache to have all my players available for selection. It shows the work we’ve put in and the quality we have in camp," he told the Ghana FA website.

"Everyone is ready to play, and that level of competition is exactly what we need to perform at the highest level,” Narteh Ogum added.

Kick off for the game is scheduled at 15:00 GMT.

The Black Starlets are targeting a strong start as they chase qualification for the 2025 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) through the regional tournament.
