The 2015 FIFA World Youth Championship has been flying under the radar because Sepp Blatter and his cronies have decided to hog all the attention just around the time that the spectacle for the next top talents to grace world football is about to commence.
Yet, irrespective of what’s going on in Zurich, who’s going to jail or who isn’t, the tournament kicks off on the 30th of May, as planned, in Auckland, New Zealand. Up first would be the host nation against Ukraine.
Snuggling in Group B, awaiting their turn at bat is our very own Black Satellites. Managed by Selas Tetteh, led by Hearts of Oak defender Owusu Bempah, they would be hoping to emulate the title winning team of 2009.
That team, led by the inspiring Andre Ayew and Tetteh, conquered the world in Egypt. The first and to date only African side to do so, it would be an enormous satisfaction for Tetteh to repeat that feat.
