Black Satellites set for semi-final showdown with Ivory Coast in WAFU U20 Cup
Black Satellites will battle Ivory Coast in the semi-finals of the 2025 WAFU Zone B U20 Boys Cup on Sunday evening. The encounter is scheduled for 19:00 GMT at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram.
Ivory Coast head into the clash in fine form after sweeping through the group stage. The Young Elephants won all three matches in Group B, culminating in a 2-0 victory over Togo to finish with nine points and a perfect record.
Ghana’s route to the last four was less straightforward. The Black Satellites opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Nigeria and followed up with a narrow 1-0 win over Benin. They finished second in Group A with four points, tied with Nigeria but edged out on goal difference.
With a spot in the final on the line, Sunday’s encounter promises intensity and drama. Backed by home support, Ghana will be determined to upset the Ivorians’ momentum. Ivory Coast, meanwhile, will aim to continue their unbeaten streak.
Nigeria will face Niger at 15:00 GMT in the other semi-final earlier that day.
