Ghana U-20 WAFU B Championship campaign

Entities: 2027 CAF U-20 Africa Cup of Nations · Joseph Badu · Togo U20 national football team · Confederation of African Football (CAF) · Nigeria U20 national football team

Overview

Ghana’s Black Satellites began the 2026 WAFU B U‑20 Championship with a 4‑2 loss to Nigeria, then earned a 1‑1 draw against Burkina Faso after an early red card forced a tactical reshuffle. The draw left them needing a win over Togo to stay in contention.

In the final group match, Ghana were held to a goalless draw by Togo, finishing the stage with two points and third place in Group B. The result eliminated them from the tournament despite already securing a spot as hosts for the 2027 CAF U‑20 Africa Cup of Nations. The early exit prompted calls for a review of the coaching staff and squad ahead of the continental competition.
