The Black Satellites have left Niamey to Maradi where they will be based for the 2019 CAF U20 Cup Cup of Nations.

Ghana’s squad opened a training camp in the Nigerien capital two weeks ago.

They played two friendly matches- losing 2-0 to the hosts and then drawing 1-1 with top-flight side Sahel SC.

The Black Satellites will face Burkina Faso on Sunday in the Group B opener before facing Senegal and Mali.

A top-two finish will earn Ghana a qualification ticket to the 2019 FIFA U20 World Cup in Poland.
