Ghana’s Black Satellites are gearing up for a high-stakes clash with Cote d’Ivoire in the semi-finals of the WAFU B U20 Championship on Saturday.
Following a successful group stage campaign, where they topped Group A, coach Desmond Ofei’s squad will be seeking a crucial victory that would propel them to the tournament final and ensure qualification for the 2025 U20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Meanwhile, in the second semi-final, Nigeria will go up against Niger after securing the top spot in Group B with a 2-1 victory over Cote d’Ivoire.
The WAFU B U20 Championship not only offers regional glory but also serves as a pathway to the 2025 U20 AFCON, where the top four teams will secure spots at the 2025 FIFA U20 World Cup in Chile.
This semi-final stage brings added pressure and motivation for both Ghana and Nigeria, as the stakes extend beyond continental ambitions to the world stage.
