Black Starlets coach Prosper Narteh Ogum says his team is fully prepared for their crucial semi-final clash against Nigeria in the ongoing WAFU Zone B U-17 Championships.
The highly anticipated match is scheduled for 19:00 GMT on Tuesday, September 30, at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium in Yamoussoukro. The winner will secure a place in the final and guarantee qualification for the 2025 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.
“We feel good. Everyone is okay, the team spirit is very high, and the boys are confident. Each of them is ready to get the results needed to book a place for AFCON in Morocco,” Narteh Ogum said.
The coach also revealed that his technical team has worked on correcting mistakes from earlier matches.
“In terms of the errors we committed in our previous games, we have identified them through video sessions and worked on them. We expect improvement in the defensive shape compared to our previous matches,” he added.
The Black Starlets reached the semi-finals after a convincing 3-1 win over Niger in their final Group A fixture, setting up today’s showdown with archrivals Nigeria.
