WAFU B U-17 Championships: Prosper Narteh Ogum declares Black Starlets readiness ahead of Nigeria clash

Black Starlets coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has declared that his side is well prepared for their game against Nigeria later today. 

Ghana's U-17 team will battle Nigeria for a place in the final of the ongoing WAFU Zone B U-17 Championships.

A place in the final will guarantee Narteh Ogum and his boys a place in the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which will be hosted in Morocco.

Speaking ahead of the game, the coach said, "We feel good. Everyone is okay, and the common spirit of the team is very high, and the boys are confident, and each of them is very ready to get the results to book a place for the AFCON in Morocco."

"In terms of the errors we committed in our previous games, we have identified them through video sessions and we’ve worked on them, so we expect that there will be an improvement over the defensive shape that you saw in our previous games," he added.

The game against Nigeria is scheduled to take place at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium in Yamoussoukro at 19:00 GMT on Tuesday, September 30.

The Black Starlets advanced to the final four following their 3-1 win over Niger in their final Group A game last week, setting up a clash with the Nigerians.
