Published on: 02 September 2018

The Black Starlets of Ghana are the only team to have all players passed the mandatory Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)test in Niger ahead of the commencement of the WAFU Zone B U-17 tournament.

Ghana u-17 were the only team to have a successful exercise, however, Benin have been expelled from the tournament after more than half of its players failed the test.

This means only six teams will compete in the tourney.

Ghana's Group A opponents Niger and Togo had a player each fail the age-eligibility test.

Nigeria and Ivory Coast have their squad reduced after two players failed the test and have been sent home.

Group B opponent Burkina Faso had one player ejected from the squad.

The winner of the tournament will represent the zone at the African U-17 Cup of Nations to be hosted by Tanzania next year.
