Ghana’s Black Satellites are set to compete in the 2025 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Ivory Coast in the semi-finals of the WAFU B U-20 Championship in Togo on Sunday.
The match was not just about reaching the final, it also served as a crucial qualifier for the AFCON tournament. With their impressive performance, Ghana not only advanced to the final but also secured their spot in the continental competition.
This marks a significant comeback for Ghana, who last won the U-20 AFCON in 2021 but missed out on the 2023 edition. Under the guidance of coach Desmond Ofei, the team aims to reclaim its status on the continental stage.
Ghana will be looking to clinch the WAFU tournament title to cap off a remarkable year that also saw them win the African Games on home soil.
