The Black Satellites returned to the training ground on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, as they intensified preparations for their crucial Group B encounter against Burkina Faso at the 2026 WAFU B U-20 Championship in Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire. Head coach Maxwell Konadu supervised the team's recovery programme and subsequent training session, with the technical team turning its full attention to Thursday's must-win fixture. The session focused on recovery, tactical adjustments and sharpening the squad following Monday's opening match against defending champions Nigeria. Although Ghana has already secured automatic qualification for the 2027 TotalEnergies CAF U-20 Africa Cup of Nations as tournament hosts, the WAFU B U-20 Championship remains a vital part of the team's development programme. The competition offers the Black Satellites an invaluable platform to strengthen team cohesion, gain high-level competitive experience and continue building towards next year's continental showpiece on home soil.
