Ghana captain Jordan Ayew says he is prepared for the intense battles expected at the 2025 Unity Cup in London.
The tournament, billed as “The Best in the West – The Afro Classico Contest,” will bring together Ghana, Nigeria, Jamaica, and Trinidad & Tobago at the G-Tech Community Stadium from May 27 to May 31.
It promises to showcase the best of African and Caribbean football.
“We’re looking forward to an intense battle on the pitch and making our country proud,” Ayew said, as quoted by the official tournament social media account.
The competition kicks off on Tuesday, May 27, with the TriniJam Derby, where Trinidad & Tobago will face Jamaica in their first-ever meeting on UK soil.
This will be followed by a highly anticipated clash between West African powerhouses Ghana and Nigeria on May 28, a matchup steeped in history and fierce regional rivalry.
The tournament will conclude on Saturday, May 31, with a double-header featuring a third-place playoff and the grand finale to crown the 2025 Unity Cup champions.
Though Nigeria, as two-time champions, may start as favorites, Ghana will be eager to replicate their recent success in London, where they defeated the Super Eagles 4-1 in their last encounter.
