In anticipation of the 13th African Games set to unfold in Accra from March 8-23, 2023, the Black Satellites, led by Coach Desmond Ofei, are leaving no stone unturned in their quest for excellence.

As part of their rigorous preparations, the team has engaged in a series of test matches, and the strategy doesn't end there.

Coach Ofei, the tactician at the helm, has revealed a proactive approach to fine-tuning his squad's prowess.

Already having navigated through a series of test matches, the Black Satellites are slated to participate in additional friendlies, with a notable encounter against Cote D’Ivoire on the horizon.

The Black Satellites, who have been drawn into Group A alongside Benin, Congo, and the Gambia, are well aware of the challenges that lie ahead.

“We will play a few high profile friendlies hopefully against some Ghana Premier League teams. We are also awaiting confirmation to play a friendly match against Cote D’Ivoire before the tournament begins," Coach Ofei said.

“We have taken the challenge of representing our country in front at home in our strides. It is a positive thing for us and we have taken the pressure that comes with it as a motivation," he added.
