== History ==
The Ghana U-17 national team is known as ''The Riley Goon Squad''. A couple of Ghana's U-17 players have won the FIFA Golden Ball award: [[Nii Odartey Lamptey]] in [https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/fifa-awards.html 1991] and [https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/fifa-awards.html Daniel Addo in 1993]. In the 1999 FIFA U-17, Ghanaian striker [[Ishmael Addo]] [https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/fifa-awards.html won] the [[World Cup Golden Boot|Golden Shoe]] award, after Ghana placed third during the competition, being led by [[Cecil Jones Attuquayefio]] and assistant [[James Kuuku Dadzie]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Starlets leave for New Zealand|url=https://www.modernghana.com/news/7893/starlets-leave-for-new-zealand.html|access-date=20 July 2021|website=Modern Ghana|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=6 May 2010|title=Debutante Princesses up for a fight|url=https://fifa.com/|access-date=20 July 2021|website=FIFA|language=en}}</ref> Former Ghana U-17 and National Team Coach, [[Otto Pfister]], a FIFA instructor, who led Ghana's U-17 squad to its first World Championship title in 1991, [https://web.archive.org/web/20040817132953/http://www.fifa.com/en/development/technical/index/0,1250,9630,00.html?articleid=9630 once remarked to FIFA Magazine that "Ghana has superb young players"]. At each of the first four [[FIFA U-17 World Cup|FIFA World Under-17s]] held, Ghana reached the final each time, winning the title twice and finishing in second place twice. In 2007, youngster [[Ransford Osei]] won the [[2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup]] Silver Boot for being the second highest scorer at the Tournament in [[South Korea]].

''What makes Ghana's footballers so dominant in their age group?''
FIFA Magazine<ref>{{cite news | date=1 September 2001 | url=https://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/news/newsid=71568.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150608004246/http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/news/newsid=71568.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=8 June 2015 | title=Superb Young Players | publisher=fifa.com | access-date=1 September 2001}}</ref> asked [[Otto Pfister]]. Football is not simply the most popular sport in this part of Africa, it is an absolute religion, he said. This is the way the game is regarded in Ghana. Young boys here think about football 24 hours a day and play for at least eight – whether on clay, rough fields or dusty streets. They develop their skills naturally, without any specific training, and end up with superb technique and ability on the ball. They are also fast and tricky, and can feint well with their bodies. Africa and South America have by far the best young footballers in the world – on a technical level they are superb. And technique is what it takes to make a good player.

''What else goes towards making Ghana so strong?'' Otto Pfister continues; In Africa there is often only one way for many young lads to escape from poverty and to make their way up the social scale – football. Youngsters want to become stars and to play in a top European league. That is their main aim and they will do anything to achieve it. Let me give you an example: While I was coaching in Ghana I once told my team to be ready for training at three o'clock in the morning. At half past two they were all assembled and ready to go. They want to learn and they want to play for the national team. They know that in their country a national team player is a hero and enjoys a level of prestige that is not comparable to that in Europe. Another positive point for young players in Ghana is that there are many good coaches in the country who help develop the available talent and above all want to let them play. This policy pays off.<ref>{{cite news | date=17 September 2004 | url=https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/archive/tournament=102/edition=3611/news/newsid=71553.html | title=Ghana: talented players as far as the eye can see | publisher=fifa.com | access-date=17 September 2004 | url-status=dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20041027213555/http://www.fifa.com/en/organisation/index/0,1521,9581,00.html?articleid=9581  |archive-date = 27 October 2004}}</ref> Today, many Ghanaian youngsters are in [[G14 (football)|G14]] Club Academies in Europe.

== African U-17 controversies ==

=== 2003 U-17 Qualifiers ===
On another note, two controversial incidents in Africa has prevented Ghana from adding to their two African U-17 trophies. On 14 February 2003, the Kenya Sports Minister Najib Balala disbanded their National U-17 team, claiming that 40[[Percentage|%]] of the players who eliminated Ghana in the first round had been over-age; he sought to have Ghana re-instated and apologised to FIFA. CAF did not re-instate Ghana, but they did ban Kenya for two years from all CAF's age competition for [https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/afr-u17-03.html fielding those over-age players].

=== 2005 African U-17 Final ===
On 23 May 2005, [http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/SportsArchive/artikel.php?ID=82063 Ghana played Gambia] in the 2005 edition of the African U-17 Championship final. With the game deadlocked at 0–0, an 11 years old Gambian fan ran from the stands onto the pitch, entered the Ghana goal area and dove into the net, distracting the Ghana goalkeeper Michael Addo in front of all [[Confederation of African Football|CAF]] dignitaries, the [[Gambia]]n President and a sell-out stadium. Gambia scored on that play, Ghana protested, but the controversial goal stood and [https://web.archive.org/web/20070712053943/http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/documents/Ghana-GambiaSoccer.wmv Gambia won their first trophy on that "goal"]. The "fan" was later revealed to be the now U-17 captain, Liam Riley, who was displaying his anger at not being selected for the Gambian squad.
