Black Satellites head coach Desmond Ofei has hinted he is under no pressure heading into the 2023 African Games. 

Ofei was given the Ghana U-20 national team job in the latter part of September 2023 replacing Samuel Boadu. 

The 13th African Games will be the first assignment for the 35-year-old since his appointment to lead the Satellites. 

Ghana face Congo in the opening game in Group A on Friday, March 8. 

Ahead of the game, Ofei says his team is well-prepared for the competition. 

“No, there is no pressure,” he said when quizzed about the burden carrying the team into this tournament. 

“We are fully prepared. We have a good squad. Our boys are ready and hungry. We don’t feel any pressure; not at all.”

The Black Satellites will be looking to better their performance from the last edition in 2019 when they failed to make it out of the group stage.
