The 2024 KGL Foundation Inter-Regional U17 Colts Championship groups have been officially announced.
The twelve-day championship will occur at the GFA’s Technical Centre, Prampram. The ten Regional Football Associations will be divided into two groups of five teams each.
Ashanti Region, the defending champions, will compete in Group A against Bono Ahafo Region, last year’s losing finalist, as well as Volta Region, Central Region, and Northern Region.
In Group B, the 2023 bronze medalists from Greater Accra Region will compete against the Eastern Region, last year’s fourth-placed team, as well as the Upper East, Upper West, and Western Regions.
The 2024 KGL Foundation Inter-Regional U17 Colts Championship takes place from July 25 to August 8, 2024.
The ten regional football associations will select the best U17 players from the Colts Competitions to compete in the juvenile Championship for their regions.
The Ghana Football Association made a significant sponsorship announcement in October 2021, naming the KGL Foundation as sponsors of the Colts League. The sponsorship, valued at one million USD, will span five years.
Accra hosted the maiden (2021) and 2022 editions, with the 2023 edition being held in Kumasi to maintain regional balance according to the GFA’s policy.
The Fourth Edition of the talent identification event will be held at the Ghanaian Centre of Excellence in Prampram in 2024, bringing the Championship back to the capital.
Over the past four years, the KGL U17 Inter-regional championships have nurtured incredibly talented players, many of whom have gone on to play for Ghana’s Junior National teams or in the domestic leagues. Certain players at these championships have also relocated overseas to further their development at international clubs.
