The National U17 Male team’s Head Coach, Stephen Frimpong Manso, is leading Ghana’s three-man technical delegation at the ongoing FIFA Youth National Team Coaches Exchange Programme in Côte d’Ivoire.
Coach Frimpong Manso, Assistant U17 Coach Jacob Nettey, and Coach Mubarak Sumaila Gardo left Accra on Sunday, June 22, for the 5-day programme being held in Abidjan.
The event, held under the FIFA Talent Development Scheme (TDS), has brought together coaches and Technical Directors from 10 African countries, including those that have qualified for the FIFA U17 Qatar World Cup 2025.
The FIFA Talent Development Scheme (TDS) aims to elevate national team football globally by enhancing talent identification and development programs for both men and women.
The Coaches Exchange program, a key component of the TDS, facilitates knowledge and experience sharing among youth national team coaches from various football associations. This program is also part of a broader strategy to improve footballing standards between different regions and create sustainable talent development pathways.
Assistant U-17 Coach Nana Kwaku Agyemang is currently supervising the Black Starlets’ camping exercise, which began over the weekend.
Coach Frimpong Manso and Jacob Nettey will join the Black Starlets team’s camp at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram after they return on Friday, June 27, 2025.
