Black Starlets will step up preparations for the upcoming U17 Africa Cup of Nations with two friendly matches scheduled for Wednesday morning at the Accra Sports Stadium from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon.
The national U17 side will face Division One League clubs Port City FC and Koforidua Semper Fi in a double-header designed to sharpen tactics and assess squad depth ahead of the continental tournament in April.
The matches form part of a structured buildup programme by the technical team as they fine-tune strategies and evaluate player readiness. Head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum and his staff are expected to rotate players across both games to assess form, fitness levels and tactical adaptability under competitive conditions.
The Starlets head into the fixtures encouraged by recent results, having secured a 3-2 win over Na God FC before following it with a 4-3 victory against True Democracy FC. Those performances showed attacking promise while highlighting areas that require defensive improvement.
With the tournament drawing closer, the focus has shifted from general preparation to match realism and mental readiness as the squad nears final selection.
