The Black Satellites have opened camp at West African Football Academy (WAFA) to finalize preparations for next month’s CAF U20 Cup of Nations in Niger.

Head coach Jimmy Cobblah believes the facilities at the renowned Sogakope-based academy will help his side to sharpen their arsenals.

''We have moved camp to Sogakope to help in our preparations for the tournament which will be taking place soon,'' Cobblah is quoted by Graphic Sports.

''I am expecting a full house which includes foreign-based players for the team and with the way training is going, I believe we will make a significant impact at the tournament.''

Ghana are in Group B alongside Senegal, Mali and Burkina Faso.

The 2019 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations will run from 2-17 February in two host cities Niamey and Maradi.
