Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has expressed confidence that Ghana’s U20 national team, the Black Satellites, have the talent to excel at the 2025 U20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
The 2025 U20 AFCON is scheduled to run from April 27 to May 18, 2025.
Ghana, four-time winners of the tournament, have been drawn in Group C alongside Senegal, DR Congo, and the Central African Republic.
Speaking to the team ahead of their departure for Egypt, Addo encouraged the players to remain disciplined and give their best effort.
“Everybody's looking up to you to give everything. I know that you have what it takes to beat every team.
“You have a good staff around you, a good coach. So, anything is possible. You have to believe in yourself. We'll pray for you, and I know you'll do it.
“I know it's going to be tough. Everyone knows it's not easy. You have tough opponents, but believe in yourself, listen to your coaches, and then you'll fulfill everything.”
The Black Satellites are aiming to secure a fifth continental title, having previously won the tournament in 1993, 1999, 2009, and 2021.
Ghana also remains the only African country to have won the FIFA U-20 World Cup, achieving the historic feat in Egypt in 2009.
