Ghana and Nigeria are set to clash in the WAFU B U20 Final after both teams secured victories over their semi-final opponents in Togo on Wednesday, October 30, 2024.
In the first semi-final at the Stade Municipal, the Black Satellites mounted a thrilling comeback to defeat Côte d'Ivoire 2-1. Meanwhile, Nigeria overcame a deficit to claim a 3-1 victory against Niger in the second semi-final.
As they prepare to renew their historic rivalry on Wednesday at the Stade de Kégué, Desmond Ofei’s squad aims to reclaim the sub-regional title from the defending champions, Nigeria.
The WAFU B U20 Championship not only highlights this fierce competition but also serves as the qualifying tournament for the 2025 Africa U20 Cup of Nations, with Ghana and Nigeria being the only teams to progress.
The upcoming 2025 U20 AFCON will also act as the African qualifiers for the 2025 FIFA U20 World Cup in Chile, where the top four semi-finalists will secure automatic qualification.
