Ghana’s U-15 girls team kicked off their campaign at the CAF Schools Championship with a 1-0 victory over Morocco in their opening match at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium on April 23, 2025.
Jennifer Awuku scored the only goal of the match in the second half, securing all three points in what was a tightly contested encounter.
Ghana dominated proceedings against their Moroccan counterparts but missed several clear chances that could have extended their lead.
Speaking to journalists after the game, Jennifer expressed pride in her performance, particularly the goal that clinched the win for her team.
“I was feeling good and comfortable during the game. My mindset was to score for Ghana and also make a name for myself,” she said.
“The goal means a lot to me, and I know my parents will be proud of me wherever they are. I’m excited because this is my first time representing the national team.”
The win puts Ghana at the top of the group with three points, while Morocco trails with zero. Benin and Malawi are yet to play to determine the full group standings.
A second win for Ghana against Benin on April 24, 2025, would secure qualification to the semi-finals with a game to spare.
The tournament, hosted at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium, runs from April 23 to 26, 2025.
This third edition of the competition features eight nations competing in both the boys’ and girls’ U-15 categories.
