In good health, the Ghanaian Black Satellites have touched down in France to begin a three-week European tour.
The goal of the visit, according to the Ghana Football Association (GFA), is to assist the country’s male U20 team in getting ready for the WAFU B U20 competition in 2024.
Desmond Ofei, the Black Satellites’ coach, traveled with a 22-person team for the tour.
The team is expected to play a number of friendly matches after arriving in France on Thursday.
“The Black Satellites will play in a series of friendly matches in France and also in Belgium.
“The team will battle Belgian outfit KV Mechelen on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, at the K. Rumstse SK, Doelhaagstraat, 70, Tourcoing, Nord before facing Royal Antwerp U23 side on Sunday, July 19, 2024, at the Oude Bosuilbaan 54a, 2100, Antwerp,” parts of a statement from the Ghana FA said on Friday.
The Black Satellites will train regularly at Rue de l’Union à 70, Tourcoing, Stadium, Nord while they are in France. Coach Desmond Ofei will use the three-week training period to refine the team’s rough edges in order to compete in the WAFU B U20 championship in 2024.
