Ghana’s national U-19 boys’ team has arrived in Switzerland for two friendly matches against youth sides of Swiss giants FC Basel 1893.
The 18-man squad, accompanied by six officials, will face FC Basel’s U-21 and U-19 teams on July 23 and 25, 2025, respectively, at the Nachwuchs Campus Basel.
The trip is part of a collaboration between the Ghana Football Association and FC Basel aimed at player development and international exposure. The matches will also serve as a benchmark to assess the players’ progress over the past four months.
“This is an important step in our continuous efforts to strengthen the pathway from the Black Starlets to the Black Satellites,” a GFA official noted. “These games will help the technical team gauge the players’ readiness and development.”
The initiative aligns with the GFA’s broader objective of developing competitive national teams across all levels through international experience and structured transitions.
