The Black Starlets have intensified preparations as they gear up for the upcoming U17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), with technical handlers sharpening both tactical and physical aspects of the squad. Training sessions have taken on added intensity as the team enters a crucial phase of build-up ahead of the continental showpiece.

Under the guidance of head coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum and his technical team, the Starlets have been put through structured drills focusing on ball circulation, pressing, transition play and finishing. The coaching staff has also placed strong emphasis on tactical discipline, aiming to mould a balanced side capable of competing against Africa’s best at the tournament.

Beyond the technical work, physical conditioning has been a major focus, with players undergoing endurance and strength sessions to ensure peak fitness levels.

Team spirit and discipline have equally been highlighted as key pillars of the Starlets’ camp. Dr. Ogum have consistently reminded players of the pride and responsibility that comes with wearing the national jersey, urging them to remain focused and committed to the collective goal.

The Starlets, who are two-time U17 AFCON champions, will be aiming to make a strong statement at the tournament, determined to reclaim continental glory and reaffirm the country’s rich pedigree in youth football.
