2025 U-20 AFCON: Black Satellites face Benin, Togo and Niger in qualifiers

Ghana has been drawn in Group A for the upcoming U-20 Africa Cup of Nations WAFU B Qualifiers scheduled for next month.

The draw for the qualifiers was done on Thursday, September 26, in Cote d'Ivoire as the Black Satellites hope to play in the 2025 U-20 AFCON.

The WAFU B qualifiers will be staged in Togo next month.

Desmond Ofei's side have been drawn in the same group as Benin, Niger and Togo for the West African Zone B qualifying round.

Group B has Nigeria, Cote d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso.

Ghana has not been in the competition since last winning it in 2021 under Karim Zito. The team failed to make the last edition which was won by Senegal in 2023.

The four-time champions will be aiming to make a return to the continental stage at that level with the competition also serving as qualifiers for the 2025 FIFA U-20 Men's World Cup.

The Black Satellites, earlier this year, beat Uganda to win gold at the 2023 African Games which was held in Ghana.

The competition will take place in Togo from October 17 to 31, 2024.
