Ghana and Nigeria are set for an electrifying showdown in the WAFU B U20 Championship Final, as both teams triumphed in their semi-final matches on Sunday, October 27, 2024, in Togo.

The two West African powerhouses will clash at the Stade de Kégué on Wednesday, rekindling a historic rivalry.

In the first semi-final at the Stade Municipal, Ghana’s Black Satellites staged a dramatic comeback, defeating Côte d'Ivoire 2-1 after trailing early.

Nigeria also displayed resilience, rallying from behind to beat Niger 3-1 in the second semi-final, securing their place in the final.

Ghana’s head coach Desmond Ofei and his squad are eager to reclaim the sub-regional title from defending champions Nigeria, with both teams already qualified for the 2025 U20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

This AFCON will act as a pathway to the 2025 FIFA U20 World Cup in Chile, where the top four teams will earn World Cup qualification.

With regional glory and a World Cup journey on the line, Wednesday’s final promises an intense battle between the two formidable sides.
