Prempeh Elite Academy qualifies for KGL U17 Colts semifinals

Prempeh Elite Academy has secured its place in the semifinals of the 2026 KGL Foundation Inter-Regional U17 Colts Championship after a dominant display in the group stages. The academy finished at the top of Group A, amassing 13 points throughout the opening phase of the competition. Their progression was solidified following a hard-fought 1-0 victory over the Upper East Region, which confirmed their status as one of the tournament's strongest contenders.

In the decisive group match against Upper East, Yusif Sabits emerged as the standout performer for Prempeh Elite Academy. Sabits scored the only goal of the game to secure the three points and was subsequently named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) for his influential contribution. This victory underscored the academy's consistency and technical discipline, traits that have characterized their run in the 2026 edition of the youth tournament.

The tournament organizers have confirmed the semifinal pairings, with Prempeh Elite Academy set to face the Western Region on October 9. While Prempeh Elite enters the match as favorites based on their group stage form, the Western Region side is expected to provide a significant challenge as they aim for an upset. The second semifinal fixture will see Brong Ahafo take on Greater Accra to determine who will proceed to the championship decider.

This regional competition, sponsored by the KGL Foundation, serves as a vital platform for identifying and nurturing young Ghanaian football talent. By providing high-stakes competitive experience for Under-17 players, the championship aims to bridge the gap between grassroots football and professional career paths. The winners of the upcoming semifinals will meet in the grand finale scheduled for October 11.
