We want to seal qualification by the second game - Ghana U-17 Coach Fabin

Published on: 10 May 2017

Ghana's Under-17 coach Paa Kwesi Fabin has set a target of qualifying out of Group A after the second round of matches at the 12th edition of the Total U-17 Africa Cup of Nations Gabon 2017.

The Black Starlets have been drawn in Group A alongside host Gabon, Cameroon, Guinea and will kick start their campaign on May 14 against Cameroon.

Ghana are making a quick return to the continental championship after missing out on the last edition in Niger.

The West Africans were disqualified after fielding an unqualified player.

Fabin, a former trainer of Ghanaian giants, Asante Kotoko and Hearts of oak, hopes to get it right this time especially as he presides over a team blessed with talent, skill and hungry for success.

The squad according to him has something that was missing in the previous sides – hunger, that is one thing Fabin adores.

“The coaching staff, Management and the players are hoping we seal qualification by the second game. We want to qualify in grand style and that we want to achieve by the end of the first two games so that it would put us in a relax mood to tackle the rest of the games,” added Fabin.
