In a stunning display of resilience and skill, Ghana’s U16 football team orchestrated a remarkable comeback to secure a resounding 5-1 victory over Kazakhstan in the UEFA U16 International Development Tournament.
The match began with Kazakhstan taking an early lead as Kurmanakhan found the back of the net on the 21st minute, sending shockwaves through the Ghanaian camp.
However, undeterred by the setback, Ghana’s captain, Benjamin Tsevanyo, rose to the occasion and restored parity with a crucial goal on the 42nd minute.
With momentum on their side, Ghana seized control of the game, with Joseph Narbi showcasing his scoring prowess by putting his team in the lead with a goal on the 44th minute. Just moments before halftime, Narbi struck again, netting Ghana’s third goal and leaving Kazakhstan reeling.
After the break, Ghana continued to dominate proceedings, with Abdulai Nortey extending their lead with a clinical finish on the 14th minute of the second half. The onslaught didn’t stop there, as Benjamin Hanson sealed the victory for Ghana with a fifth goal, leaving Kazakhstan with no chance of a comeback.
This emphatic win marks Ghana’s second consecutive victory in the tournament, following their earlier triumph over Serbia by the same score line.
With each match, Ghana’s young talents are proving their mettle on the international stage, showcasing their potential for greatness.
The UEFA U16 International Development Tournament serves as a crucial platform for the development of juvenile footballers, providing them with valuable exposure and experience at an international level.
For Ghana, this tournament holds added significance as they prepare for the upcoming WAFU Zone B U17 tournament, set to be hosted in Accra next month.
As Ghana’s U16 team continues to excel and hone their skills on the field, the nation eagerly anticipates their future successes and contributions to the world of football.
With determination and talent driving them forward, the young footballers of Ghana are poised to make their mark on the global stage.
Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
