Ghana U20 Black Satellites eliminated from WAFU B Championship
Ghana’s U20 national side, the Black Satellites, were knocked out in the group stage of the 2026 WAFU B U‑20 Championship after failing to win any of their three matches. The team lost 4‑2 to Nigeria, drew 1‑1 with Burkina Faso and finished with a goalless draw against Togo, leaving them third in Group B with two points.
Despite the early exit, Ghana’s place at the 2027 CAF U‑20 Africa Cup of Nations is already secured as the nation will host the tournament during its 70th Independence Anniversary celebrations. The disappointing campaign has sparked calls for a review of the technical staff and squad ahead of the upcoming continental showpiece.
The tournament was held at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium in Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire, and the results have raised concerns among fans and officials about the Black Satellites’ defensive organization and attacking effectiveness.
