Roy Arthur hands support to Ghana U17 technical handlers at Cape Coast justifier

Disputed Central Regional Football Association chairman Roy Arthur has lauded the ongoing national U17 justifier programme.

The Black Starlets technical team headed by coach Paa Kwasi Fabin has been touring the country in search of talents for the next squad.

Youngsters on Wednesday gathered at the Cape Coast Robert Mensah stadium for an auditioning.

“I think it is a good initiative by the Ghana Football Association and also coach Paa Kwasi Fabin, going around the country in search of talents is the way to go,” said Arthur

"This is the way to develop football and for me I am happy that young players in the central region have also been given the opportunity to showcase what they have.

"We should always encourage programmes of this nature because football is not just about some few places in Ghana but for some us that we travel across the length and breadth of the country I can tell you that players are everywhere."

The players selected after this phase would go through the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to determine the authenticity of their ages.
