U17 WAFU B: Ghana Preparations Suffer Big Blow As Players Fail MRI Scan

Ghana U17 national team's preparations for the next month's WAFU Zone B Cup of Nations has suffered a big blow after several players in the team have failed the mandatory MRI age test by the African soccer ruling body (CAF), BSNsports.com.ng gathered.

With barely three weeks to the start of the tournament, more than half of the Black Starlets squad currently in camp can no longer be part of the team after they were asked to leave the camp.

The technical crew of the team led by head coach Paa Kwasi Fabin now has less than a month to select a new set of players that will represent the country.

The Black Starlets have been drawn in Group A where they will face Nigeria and Togo whereas Group B comprises Cote d’Ivoire, Benin, Burkina Faso, and Niger.

The tournament is scheduled to take place in Cape Coast from June 11 to June 24, 2022, which will see the winner qualifying for the U17 Africa Cup of Nations in Algeria next year.
