Black Starlets head coach, Laryea Kingston, has emphasized that he selected every single player in his 20-man squad that will represent Ghana in the 2024 WAFU B U17 Cup of Nations to be hosted in Ghana.
The former Ghana international announced his final squad on Tuesday, ahead of their first tournament game on Wednesday against Cote d’Ivoire at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
The game will kick off at 4 pm as they aim to secure a top-two finish and qualify for the 2025 U17 AFCON. They have failed to qualify for the last two editions of the competition.
“I chose every single player in this squad. You know it wasn't easy. It wasn't easy at all from day one. From day one I’ve been fighting and fighting, putting my feet down on the ground,” Laryea Kingston told Joy Sports.
“Fine, if you recommend a player, I would like to see the player first and if I feel the player can help the work that we are doing, why not.
“I've fought for this and trust me, every single player that you see in the squad now is my decision. I chose every player there but it wasn't easy, I have to be honest.”
