The 2023 edition of the Baby Jet U16 African Football Tournament, organized by former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan, is set to kick off on June 6, 2023, at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium in Ghana.

The tournament will feature 32 teams from across Africa, and will provide a platform for young players to showcase their talents and potentially earn professional contracts.

In addition to the football competition, the program will also offer mentorship and guidance to the young footballers, led by Gyan and other football icons.

The best players will be selected and will be coached by Gyan for a year, where they will play several games to help hone their skills as well as give them opportunities to join elite clubs across the world.

The tournament is expected to be a major boost for African football, as it will provide a platform for young players to showcase their talents and potentially earn professional contracts. It is also expected to help to raise the profile of African football on the world stage.

Speaking to Citi Sports, Samuel Anim Addo, the CEO of Baby Jet Promotions, said that the tournament is a major investment in the future of African football.

“This year’s competition is going to be an improvement of what we have been able to achieve in the past and also bring the legends to these youngsters to inspire them and learn closely from them as well.

“We expect this year’s competition to be fun, educative and the best will surely be awarded and to their own benefit, get scouted and give them a career uplift,” Anim Addo said.
