Ghana Black Starlets head coach Kassim Ocansey Mingle has praised his players after they beat Benin to reach the semi-finals of the 2026 WAFU Zone B U-17 Championship.

The Starlets defeated their Benin counterparts 3-1 on Tuesday in their second Group A encounter of the ongoing tournament in Burkina Faso.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Kassim Ocansey Mingle raised concern about complacency, but applauded his players for getting the job done to advance to the semi-finals.

“We have done a good job, and we are happy. First of all, we have accomplished the target that we set. We have three targets. First is to get to the semi-final, second is to qualify for AFCON, and the third is to get the ultimate. We have accomplished one, and so we are left with two,” the Black Starlets coach said.

Following the win against Benin, Ghana will face hosts Burkina Faso in their final group fixture on Friday, October 16, aiming to preserve their winning momentum before the knockout stage.
