However, according to the coach of the team Paa Kwesi Fabin, qualifying the side to the competition is his utmost target when the Africa Youth Championship gets underway.

'It's been long a time the Black Starlets qualified for the World Cup so our prime target is to qualify for the World Cup,' Paa Kwesi told sportscrusader.com

'We are preparing adequately for the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations. We have played some series of friendly matches and I can say the boys are match ready for the tournament,' he added.

Ghana's last participation dates back to 2007 when they finished fourth.
