WAFU ZONE B Boys Cup: Ghana coach Desmond Ofei plots Benin’s downfall

Ghana’s U-20 head coach, Desmond Ofei is brimming with confidence ahead of the second Group A fixture in the 2025 WAFU ZONE B Boys Cup tournament.

The Black Satellites were held to a 1-1 draw in the opener against Nigeria and a defeat against Benin will kick them out of the competition.

Desmond Ofei knows the gravity of defeat ahead of the game and he has set sight on nailing the junior Cheetahs on Wednesday at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence.

“Very important game for us, we have to win because we want to qualify. Despite the heavy loss they had against Nigeria, it’s a good team so we have to look sharp, we have to be hungry [and] we shouldn’t give anything away,” Desmond Ofei said in a pre-match press conference.

“So on the day we have to show that we are the better team to get the three points. Every game is different, if you look too much into the game against Nigeria, the approach will be different against Benin because it’s a different team.

“I think it’s going to be a physical game so we have to be sharp, we should not give anything away and especially if we are going to the last game, I think we have to be focused in the final minutes of the game so that we don’t concede or give anything away.” He added.
