Konadu hopeful as Ghana arrive in Uganda
Ghana's U-20 footballers have arrived in Uganda
ahead of their 2013 Africa Youth Championship
qualifier.

Maxwell Konadu's 20-man Black Satellites, who left
Accra on Thursday, will play their hosts on
Saturday in Nakivubo in the first leg of the
qualifying.

The squad have been impressive in the build up to
the game against the Hippos having scored 10 goals
in three trial games while conceding one.

Ghana, winners of both the Africa Youth
Championship and World Cup titles in 2009 are
determined to reach next year's finals in
Algeria.

“I must just say that we are ready for the game.
We have been training hard and so we are prepared
for the task ahead,” Konadu said this week in
Accra.

“We have to play our normal game but have to be
cautious at the back as well.”

The winner of the two-leg tie advances to meet
either Morocco or the Gambia in the second round
set for September and October.

Ghana Under-20 squad:
Goalkeepers: Muntari Tagoe, Felix Annan
Defenders: Seidu Salifu, Richmond Nketiah,
Jeremiah Akorful, Joseph Attama Larweh, Ahmed
Adams, Lawrence Lartey, Daniel Amartey

Midfielders: Mumuni Abubakar, Owusu Jackson, Isaac
Sackey, Frank Sarfo Gyamfi, Joseph Baffour Gyewu,
Michael Anaba, Emmanuel Gyamfi.
