Teen Star Yussif Saani Earns Ghana U20 Call-Up After Impressive Breakthrough Season

Dansoman Liberty Sports Academy forward Yussif Saani has been invited to join the Ghana U20 national team as part of the latest screening phase for next year’s WAFU Zone B U-20 Championship.

The 17-year-old made a strong impression in the maiden MTN Elite U19 Championship and will report to the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram on Monday, November 24, 2025, where the second batch of selected players is expected to assemble.

Saani’s rise has been quick and well earned. His calm finishing, creativity, and technical strength made him one of the standout players in the Elite U19 Championship. He continued that form at the recent SBE Tournament in Accra, where he reaffirmed his growing reputation as one of the most exciting young talents in Ghana.

Head Coach Maxwell Konadu and his technical team are currently assessing different groups of emerging players as they work to build a competitive squad for the challenges ahead. The screening process is designed to give both established youth players and newly discovered talents a fair chance to compete for a place in the final U20 team.
