SATELLITES TOUCH DOWN IN MOROCCO FOR AFRICAN GAMES
The national U-20 team, Black Satellites, arrived in Rabat, Morocco yesterday ahead of the upcoming African Games which commences on August 19.
The 18-man squad, technical team and management members were the first batch of Ghanaian athletes to arrive in the Moroccan capital for the multi-sport continental competition.
Coach Yaw Preko’s team will kick off their African Games campaign against Burundi on Saturday, August 17 in a Group B opener before playing Mali and Senegal.
Other members of Ghana’s contingent for the games are due in Morocco beginning today with the expected arrival of the judo team (Black Judokas), who like the Satellites, have early scheduling.
Black Judokas coach, Ezekiel Dodoo, confirmed to the Daily Graphic yesterday that the team had received their tickets from the Ministry of Youth and Sports’ International Games and Competitions Committee (IGCC) and were due to fly out of Accra last night ahead of the opening ceremony on Monday.
