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.
The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
