The first round of the Betway Talent Search ended in Accra at University of Ghana Stadium.
The final round of the trail section which came off in Accra saw hundreds of footballers troop to the Legon stadium to justify their inclusion.
Speaking to the media during the trials by the aspiring professional footballers, second deputy coach of the Black Stars, Maxwell Konadu said the talents they have seen over the last four weeks during the talent hunt have been impressive.
He opined that, the Ghana has “good players” but the lack of infrastructure is what is hindering their development.
“I am not surprised about the quality of talents discovered so far in the talent search. We have many raw talents in the country. Our pride is seeing these products going higher. Ghanaian players very good,” he said.
