After a long week of rigorous screening process at the Southern Arena, Bo City, the National Under-17 Head Coach Dominic John Konneh has on Wednesday, September 10, 2025 announced a 30-man squad out of the remaining 46 players that were on intensive training and screening process.
Team Manager Henry Ebenezer Macaulay encouraged dropped players not to lose hope. “We cannot take all of you at once.” Macaulay stated. “You guys are on our standby priority list for whatever circumstance that may arise with the selected players for the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).”
“It’s tough, but we just have to make this decision. This journey is just beginning for all of you. Whether you made the 30-man list or not, your dedication and talent have not gone unnoticed. Keep working hard, stay focused, and your time will come.” Said Coach Konneh
The 30-man squad will now undergo MRI tests in compliance with CAF regulations to confirm age eligibility before the final 20 players are selected to compete in the WAFU Zone A U-17 Championship in October 2025 in Bamako, Mali.
