Shadrack Kofi Fosu Inspires Ghana U19 to Sweet Revenge Victory Over FC BaselYoung winger scores winner as Ghana U19 bounce back in Switzerland friendly

In what turned out to be a thrilling international friendly encounter in Switzerland, 17-year-old Shadrack Kofi Fosu of Pro-Sports Academy emerged the hero as Ghana’s U19 national team recorded a memorable 2-1 comeback win over Swiss giants FC Basel.

The talented winger struck the decisive goal that sealed victory for the Black Satellites’ feeder side, marking a dramatic turnaround from their earlier 3-1 loss to the same opponents just days ago. The win also symbolized redemption and resilience, as the team avenged that previous defeat with passion and purpose.

Fosu, a standout talent from the Kumasi-based Pro-Sports Academy, showcased his trademark speed, agility, and flair throughout the first half. His ability to effortlessly glide past defenders and drift into central positions from the wing proved too much for Basel’s backline. And when it mattered most, he stepped up — calmly finishing off a well-worked team move to give Ghana the lead and eventually the win.

The team, currently in Switzerland as part of the Ghana Football Association’s collaborative program with FC Basel, will play a series of friendlies during their stay. But for now, all eyes are on the bright spark that is Shadrack Kofi Fosu — a player whose hunger, dynamism, and growing maturity have him firmly on the radar as one for the future.

As he continues to impress, the winger’s dream remains clear: to rise through the ranks and eventually don the jersey of the senior national team, the Black Stars.
