Ghana’s High Commission in Namibia this week celebrated with Ghana’s Black Starlets after their overwhelming victory in the four-nation U-17 football tournament that pitted them against Germany, Namibia and South Africa. The matches took place in the port city of Walvis Bay.
The Black Starlets thus became two-time champions with their win following the first win in 2014.
The team defeated the German Team 2-1 in the final match played on Sunday, 27th March, 2016.
The New Era newspaper, a leading Namibian daily, described the Starlets as “Amazing”.
In addition to the main trophy, striker David Cudjoe won the Top Scorer award and team mate Emmanuel Toku won Player of the Tournament Award.
Ghana’s High Commissioner to Namibia, Alhaji Abdul-Rahman Harruna Attah, hosted the victorious team and their handlers to a typical Ghanaian victory lunch of omo tuo and jollof rice.
He was supported by Ms. Anita Kiki Gbeho, Ghanaian-born UN Resident Representative in Namibia.
