Black Satellites goalkeeper Ibrahim Danlad says the team has set its sight on winning the WAFU Zone B U-20 Championship to honour President Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo.

The Ghana U-20 defeated Niger on penalties to book their place in the finals of the competition.

They next come face to face with Burkina Faso on Saturday with the ultimate trophy at stake.

The Asante Kotoko goalkeeper in an interview revealed the best commemoration of the president’s reelection will be to deliver him the WAFU Zone B U-20 Championship trophy.

“Initially the very big task was to secure qualification to Mauritania, and that has been attained,” he told Kumasi based Wontumi TV.

“Now the next step is to fight hard and win the trophy for Ghana and President [H. E.] Nana Addo. We recently had peaceful elections so we believe if we win the trophy and bring it home, it will add to the joy and peace already in the country.

“So the jubilation we had yesterday is now in the past but we have started to engage each other to work hard to bring the trophy to Ghana.

“Ghana is hungry for trophies so we want to deliver this one to Ghanaians,” the young goalkeeper concluded.

By qualifying to the finals of the competition, the Black Satellites headed by Coach Karim Zito have also booked a ticket to the 2021 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in Mauritania.
