In a thrilling display of skill and determination, Russia secured a convincing 3-1 victory over the Black Starlets in the UEFA International Tournament.

The game started with an explosive opening as Vadim Shilov of Russia swiftly found the back of the net just four minutes into the match, sending the Russian fans into a frenzy of celebration. The early goal set the tone for Russia’s quick passing play in the first half.
Shilov continued to make his mark on the game, confidently converting a penalty on the 30th minute, extending Russia’s lead to 2-0. The Russian onslaught didn’t stop there, as Zakhar Chushkin added to the tally just three minutes later with a well-placed strike, putting Russia comfortably ahead 3-0.
Despite being down by three goals, the Black Starlets displayed resilience and determination, never backing down from the challenge. Their efforts were rewarded when Ernest Ofori, who came off the bench, managed to pull one back for the Black Starlets on the 64th minute, scoring a consolation goal that injected a spark of hope into the Ghanaian side.
Throughout the match, the Black Starlets showed their prowess in possession, dominating both halves of the game. Their control of the ball demonstrated the potential of the Ghana side, who are currently preparing for the upcoming WAFU Zone B U17 tournament in Ghana next month.

The Diaspora Affairs Office at the Office of the President has hosted a delegation of African diaspora women who are in Ghana ahead of a planned Presidential Conferment of Citizenship ceremony.
The Director of Diaspora Affairs, Kofi Okyere Darko, explained in a Facebook post that the visit was a gesture of appreciation by the delegation to the Government of Ghana for its continued efforts to reconnect Africans in the diaspora with their ancestral homeland.
He indicated that the ceremony, scheduled for next Monday, will officially grant Ghanaian citizenship to members of the delegation as part of the country’s broader engagement with the African diaspora.
The delegation was led by Erica Bennett, Founder of the Diaspora Africa Forum.
According to Mr Okyere Darko, her years of advocacy have played an important role in strengthening ties between Africa and people of African descent living abroad.
He noted that the group’s journey towards citizenship represents not only a legal process but also a cultural and spiritual return to their roots.
Also present at the meeting was Natalie Jackson, an attorney who is also expected to receive Ghanaian citizenship during the ceremony. She works closely with renowned civil rights lawyer Ben Crump.
Mr Okyere Darko emphasised that Ghana remains committed to strengthening relationships with the African diaspora and promoting unity, identity, and shared heritage among people of African descent worldwide.
