Laryea Kingston
Neil Armstrong-Mortagbe, Head of Public Relations and Strategy at the Ghana Football Association (GFA), believes that the Ghana U-17 team was negatively affected by the unexpected resignation of coach Laryea Kingston.
Kingston stepped down following the team’s semi-final loss to Burkina Faso, which ended their hopes of qualifying for the upcoming U-17 AFCON. This marked the third consecutive failure for the Black Starlets to qualify for the tournament.

Armstrong-Mortagbe noted that this departure caused instability as the Black Starlets lost the third-place playoff match against Nigeria, finishing fourth overall.
