  "summary": "Ghana's U17 team, the Black Starlets, have ramped up their training in anticipation of their upcoming friendly match against Morocco's U17 side. Following a full training session on Monday, the team has returned to regular drills after a recovery session on Sunday, following their impressive 2-0 win in the first friendly. Coach Kassim Ocansey and his staff have increased the intensity of the sessions, focusing on physical conditioning, tactical organisation, and attacking play. The Black Starlets aim to build on their performance in the first game, where Hope Agbasi and Alidu Issah scored, and the technical team will use the remaining time to fine-tune the squad and provide more players with opportunities to secure a place in the lineup. The second friendly is set to take place on Wednesday, ahead of the WAFU Zone B U17 Championship, which will also serve as the qualifying tournament for the 2027 U17 Africa Cup of Nations.",
