Daniel Amartey added a touch of inspiration to the young talents representing the nation at the CAF African Football Schools Championship.

From the stands, Amartey watched on as the girls showcased technical elegance, tactical discipline, and an unyielding spirit.

Their journey through the group stage had been nothing short of emphatic.

Under the guidance of head coach Joyce Boatey-Agyei, the side opened their campaign with a narrow but vital win over Morocco, as noted by Ghanafa.org.

That early triumph sparked confidence, which they carried into the second match, brushing aside Benin with a 2-0 result before dismantling Malawi 3-0 to cap off a perfect run.

Their dominance was not just in results but also in execution. The team secured nine points from three outings, netted six goals, and perhaps most impressively, kept a clean sheet in every match.

The heartfelt gesture drew jubilant reactions from the girls, who were visibly thrilled by the surprise interaction with a national icon.

What lies ahead for Amartey

While Amartey continues to inspire the next generation off the field, his own footballing journey remains a topic of speculation.

Having been without a club since the start of the year, the former Leicester City stalwart is eyeing a return to elite competition.

There were recent whispers of a potential emergency transfer to German giants Bayern Munich amid injuries to Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano, but the move did not materialise.

With the summer transfer window approaching, Amartey is reportedly in talks and could be back on the pitch soon, per KickGH.
