Ghana draw Togo, Niger and Benin in WAFU Zone B U20 Championship

Ghana's national male U-20 team have been handed a tricky group ahead of the West Africa Football Union (WAFU) Zone B U20 Championship.  

The Black Satellites will take on host Togo, Niger and Benin in Group A following Thursday's draw in Cote D'voire.

Coach Desmond Offei's side will take on Togo in the opening match before subsequent games against Niger and Benin.

The WAFU Zone B championship will begin on October 17 and end on October 31, 2024.

The Black Satellites will be hoping to make a return to the Africa U20 Championship by finishing in the top two of the qualifying competition.

Ghana. 2009 world champions, have not qualified for the tournament since winning the competition in Mauritania in 2021.

Meanwhile, in Group B, Nigeria are joined by Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast.

The Black Satellites have been preparing for the championship since winning the 2023 All African Games on home soil back in March.
