Black Satellites held their first training sessions in Cairo on Sunday, April 20, 2025, as preparations intensify for the upcoming U20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Egypt.
The team, led by head coach Desmond Ofei, trained twice at the Jewel Plaza Sports facility, located within walking distance of their hotel at the Jewel Plaza Complex.
The sessions were light but tactical, designed to ease the players into a demanding training programme following their arrival from Accra on Saturday.
All sixteen players who travelled with the initial group took part in the training. Six more players are expected to join them in the coming days to complete the squad for the tournament.
The Black Satellites are scheduled to step up their preparations with more intense sessions as the tournament draws closer.
The 13-nation competition begins on April 27 and ends on May 18, with Ghana placed in Group C alongside DR Congo, defending champions Senegal, and the Central African Republic.
Ghana will open their campaign on May 2 against DR Congo. The top four teams from the tournament will qualify for the 2025 FIFA U20 World Cup in Chile.
