National U-17 Coach, Paa Kwesi Fabin, has revealed that winning the World Cup with the Black Starlets is not his major priority.

The Black Starlets have not been able to win the Under-17 World Cup trophy since the 1995 triumph in Ecuador and have also failed to clinch the African Under-17 Cup of Nations title since the Guinea 1999 tournament.

Coach Fabin is yet to lead Ghana to win a title with the Black Starlets after failing to guide Ghana past the group stage of the 2013 Africa Under-17 Cup of Nations.

“You see people say we want trophies. Yes, the reason why this Under-17 team was brought about was to get people to graduate to the next level and not necessarily for trophies but along the line if we are able to win a trophy, that’s all well and good,” Fabin told Starr FM Sports.

“Definitely at the back of my mind I am looking at working hard, getting to that level and then probably winning that trophy before I quit but I must confess it is not my priority.”
