Members of Ghana’s junior national team, the Black Starlets, would regroup for an international friendly against England’s Under-18 team next month.

An 18-member playing squad has been called up to begin preparations at the national camp, the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram.

The invitation by the English FA would see the Black Starlets play the young Three Lions away on November 20 at Gillingham's Priestfield Stadium.

Ghana managed a last four place in the recent FIFA Under-17 World Cup hosted by South Korea whilst their host for the friendly made it to the round of eight at the same competition, their best ever placing in the youth tournament.
