The Ghana's home-based national team have been in camp for over two months since securing qualification and are looking very ready and poised for the tournament.
They engaged in some high profile friendlies within that period against Egypt U20, African giants Al Ahly, host nation Algeria and others to test their strength and see how their progression has been.

“Our preparations have gone very well, and we played two competitive friendlies in Egypt as well as here in Algeria to fine-tune our preparations.”
“If we carry on with the same momentum, I think we should have a good tournament."
