Fatawu Salifu wants his team to prove themselves again after their recent disappointment. The Black Satellites assistant coach believes his players can bounce back from their painful exit. Ghana's under-20 squad lost their chance to reach the World Cup during penalty kicks against Egypt. The team failed to advance past the quarterfinals despite high hopes. Their coach remains confident about upcoming opportunities to show improvement.

The Black Satellites will host the WAFU Championship tournament on home soil. Salifu sees this competition as the perfect chance to rebuild their damaged reputation. Ghana received confirmation about hosting duties right after returning from Egypt empty-handed. The former Heart of Lions manager thinks playing at home will help his squad perform better. Local support should give the young players extra motivation to succeed.

Nigeria will provide the first major test for the Black Satellites during group stage action. Both teams will clash at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence on July 10th. Benin awaits Ghana six days later to complete their group matches. Group A contains just three countries which means each team plays twice. The tournament runs from July 10th through July 23rd across various venues throughout Ghana.
