Four-time champions Ghana drew 2-2 with Kenya in a preparational encounter ahead of the TotalEnergies U-20 AFCON.
The Black Satellites, one of the most decorated sides at youth level in African football booked their spot at the 2025 edition of the TotalEnergies U-20 AFCON after finishing as runners-up in the WAFU Zone B Championship.
Ghana will be among the favourites, aiming to reclaim the title they last won in 2021 and to secure qualification to the FIFA U-20 World Cup.
Led by coach Desmond Sakyi Ofei, the Black Satellites combine youthful exuberance with a strong tactical foundation, having impressed in the WAFU Zone B qualifiers.
This marks Ghana’s 11th appearance at the tournament and they boast one of the most impressive records in U-20 AFCON history.
Placed in Group C, the Black Satellites would take on DR Congo in the first game before facing Senegal, and Central African Republic in the subsequent matches.
The Black Satellites have lifted the trophy four times – in 1993, 1999, 2009, and 2021 – and finished runners-up twice, in 2001 and 2013.
