Ghana U20 Management Committee chairman Winfried
Osei Kwaku feels confident about the Black
Satellites chances of progress from a tough 2015
African Youth Championship group.

The three-time African champions have been drawn
in Group B together with Southern African pair of
South Africa, Zambia and West African side
Zambia.

South Africa and Mali are known opposition to
Ghana in the tournament while Zambia are emerging
force in youth football on the continent.

The Black Satellites have reached the final in
their last three attempts in the African
competition and must maintain the level of quality
achieved.

“The teams in the group are of high quality but
I believe with adequate and right preparations we
can progress in the group,” he told
GHANAsoccernet.com.

Ghana play South Africa in the group’s opening
game on March 9 and, Osei – popularly known in
football circles as Parma, believes the Amajita
pose a threat to Ghana’s campaign.

“They are in a period of renaissance and the
fact that we are in the same group with them in
the AFCON would sit the rivalry into our game. The
current Bafana Bafana coach used to be their head
coach and that shows a lot to us.”

Osei Parma also confirmed Sellas Tetteh would name
foreign-based players in his squad for the
tournament.

“I’ve not seen the squad but I’m sure we
have identified some good players playing abroad
and we will begin the process of liaising with
their clubs and agents to get them for the
tournament.”
