The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially released Ghana’s squad for the ongoing U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Egypt.

The Black Satellites are set to begin their campaign on Friday, May 2, when they face Group C opponents DR Congo.

Head coach Desmond Ofei and his team have been in Egypt for several days, preparing and acclimatising ahead of the tournament’s kickoff.
