The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has released the official squad lists for the upcoming U-20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, offering Ghanaians a first glimpse of the much-anticipated Black Satellites roster.
Ghana is set to kick off their campaign on Friday, May 2, against Group C rivals DR Congo, as head coach Desmond Ofei’s side looks to secure qualification for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile later this year.
However, the announcement has raised a few concerns, with discrepancies emerging between the squad published by CAF and the players currently in camp.
One notable inconsistency involves Vision FC midfielder Edmund Asante, who is listed on CAF’s official tournament website despite being dropped from the traveling squad. Asante remains in Ghana and even featured in Vision FC’s matchday 29 victory over league leaders Bibiani Gold Stars, scoring a goal in the process.
JoySports understands that not all players have arrived at the team’s base in Egypt.
The remaining players are expected to report to camp in the coming days.
