Ghana U17 coach Prosper Narteh Ogum insists the Black Starlets are ready for the 2026 Africa U17 Cup of Nations in Morocco.

The Black Starlets begin their tournament with a tricky opening game against Alegria on Thursday, May 14, 2026.

Ghana is making a return to the competition for the first time in nine years with hopes of qualifying for the U17 FIFA World Cup later this year.

Dr Ogum, who has been in charge of the team since 2025, believes the Black Starlets are mentally, physically and tactically ready for the demands of the championship.

"The mood in camp is very positive and focused," he told CAF Online. "The players understand the importance of representing Ghana at this level and they have shown great commitment throughout our preparations.

"We have worked very hard physically, tactically and mentally, and I believe the team is ready to compete. The boys are motivated and eager to make Ghana proud in our opening game against Algeria," he added.

Ghana will also face South Africa and defending champions Senegal in Group D.
