Ugandan national Under 17 coach Paa Kwesi Fabin says his charges are ready for the impending youth AFCON in Tanzania.

The Ghanaian tactician emphasized that his team is ready for the Under 17 AFCON in Tanzania as they seek to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil.

“We shall definitely compete because we have assembled a good team of talented youngsters.” Fabin told the Uganda FA website.

“It is common knowledge that when you gather children at the U17 level and move them out of their country to another country it gives them enough energy to work hard due to that excitement and since we came in Kenya the boys have performed very well and improved day by day.”

“I think they are doing well, fortunately, we have an able assistant who did a good job, therefore, we are just adding onto what has been done already and so far it’s been good.”

Fabin was the coach when the Black Starlets of Ghana reached the quarter finals of the Under 17 World Cup in India in 2017.
