Ghana’s U-15 boys and girls national teams have arrived in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, ahead of the 2025 CAF African Schools Football Championship WAFU-B Qualifiers.
The delegation, consisting of 20 players in each squad, touched down on Saturday evening as preparations intensify for the competition set for December 14, 2025.
The qualifiers, organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), form a key pillar of the continent’s long-term grassroots development agenda, designed to nurture emerging talents and expand youth football participation.
The WAFU-B zone remains one of Africa’s strongest regions, featuring traditional football powerhouses including Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Benin, Niger, and hosts Burkina Faso.
Ghana enters this year’s edition with confidence, buoyed by their outstanding performance in the previous tournament.
The girls’ team were crowned continental champions at the grand finals held at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium, while the boys’ team secured an impressive third-place finish, further underscoring Ghana’s influence in youth football development.
