Led by Head Coach Desmond Ofei, the 22-man squad arrived in France on June 27, 2024, marking the beginning of their intensive preparation schedule on the continent.
During their stay, the Black Satellites are slated to participate in a series of friendly matches across France and Belgium, aimed at fine-tuning their skills and team cohesion.
Their fixtures include a match against Belgian club KV Mechelen on July 2, 2024, at K. Rumstse SK in Tourcoing, Nord, followed by a clash with Royal Antwerp U23 on July 19, 2024, at Oude Bosuilbaan in Antwerp.
Training sessions will be conducted regularly at the Rue de l’Union à 70 Stadium in Tourcoing, Nord, providing ample opportunities for Coach Desmond Ofei to refine the team’s tactics and strategy during the three-week tour.
This training period marks the first gathering of the Black Satellites since their triumphant gold medal performance at the 2023 All Africa Games, underscoring their ambition and readiness to compete at the highest level in youth football.
