A group picture before a game between Eastern and Greater Accra
The Eastern Region and Greater Accra Region have taken firm control of their respective groups following the conclusion of Matchday Two in the ongoing MTN Elite U19 Championship on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram.
In Group A, Godie Nana Mensah’s Eastern Region side maintained their perfect start to the campaign with a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Western Region, securing back-to-back wins to top the group with six points from two matches. The side has now scored six goals and conceded just two, underlining their balance in attack and defence.
They are closely followed by Brong Ahafo, who sit second with three points after delivering a statement performance in their opening game — a resounding 5–0 win over Northern Region.
Northern Region has slipped to third place, also on three points, while Western Region and Upper West Region are still searching for their first wins of the tournament, occupying the fourth and fifth spots respectively.
In Group B, the Greater Accra Region remains the standout performer, maintaining a 100% record with a maximum six points from two games. The capital side continued their fine form with a 2–1 victory over Central Region earlier in the day, extending their dominance and underlining their title credentials.
Ashanti Region follows in second place with three points but has a game in hand, while Volta Region’s narrow win over Upper East lifted them to third on the standings. The Central Region and Upper East Region occupy the bottom two spots without a point after two rounds of matches.
The MTN Elite U19 Championship, running from October 23 to November 2, 2025, features ten Regional Football Association (RFA) U-19 teams from across Ghana.
The competition provides a crucial platform for the nation’s most promising young footballers to display their talent, gain valuable competitive experience, and attract the attention of national youth team coaches and professional scouts.
Powered by MTN Ghana, the tournament reinforces the Ghana Football Association’s commitment to youth football development, providing a clear and structured pathway for emerging talents to progress from grassroots football to the national and professional stages.
With both Eastern and Greater Accra setting the early pace, and Brong Ahafo’s five-star performance signaling their intent, the stage is set for an exciting and competitive finish to this year’s championship.
