The search for Ghana’s next generation of football stars is in full swing as the second batch of players for the Black Starlets screening exercise arrives in Kumasi.

This latest group, comprising young prospects from the Ashanti, Brong Ahafo, Northern, Upper West, and Upper East regions, marks the conclusion of the Northern sector of the nationwide talent identification initiative. The screening is part of preparations for the upcoming 2025/26 WAFU B U-17 Cup of Nations and the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations.

Earlier, 44 players from the first batch wrapped up their four-day training session on Saturday, having arrived at camp last Wednesday. Now, the new group will take their turn under the guidance of Black Starlets head coach Frimpong Manso and his technical team.

Training activities are taking place at the Christian Village Guest House & Leadership Training Centre in Santasi Apire, near Opoku Ware School and St. Hubert Seminary in Kumasi.

The technical team remains committed to identifying top-tier talent as Ghana looks to rebuild a strong U-17 side capable of making an impact on the continental stage.
