Ghana’s Black Starlets have completed their preparations for Tuesday’s crucial Group A encounter against Benin at the WAFU Zone B U-17 Championship in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
Kassim Ocansey’s side held their final training session on Monday morning at the Salitas Academy Complex, with the technical team fine-tuning the squad ahead of the decisive fixture.
The Black Starlets began their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Togo, securing three valuable points in their quest to advance to the knockout stage of the competition.
A second consecutive victory against Benin would guarantee Ghana automatic qualification for the semi-finals, putting them in a strong position to progress in the tournament.
However, Benin are also expected to approach the encounter with determination as they seek to secure their own passage to the next stage.
Ghana’s technical team will be hoping for greater efficiency in front of goal after the team created several opportunities in their opening match against Togo. Converting those chances will be crucial as the Black Starlets prepare to face a Benin side equally motivated to advance.
The encounter is scheduled for Tuesday, October 13, 2026, with a place in the semi-finals at stake.
