Ghana's Black Satellites and Nigeria will face off in the WAFU B U20 final after the two West African giants dispatched their respective semi-final opponents in Togo on Sunday October 27, 2024.

The Black Satellites produced a sensational comeback 2-1 win over Cote D'voire in the first semi-final at the Stade Municipal before Nigeria also rallied from behind to beat Niger 3-1 in the second semi-final match.

Ghana and Nigeria will renew their long-standing rivalry in Wednesday's Final at the Stade de Kégué.

Desmond Ofei's side will be hoping to go one step further by reclaiming the sub-regional title from defending champions Nigeria.

The WAFU B U20 Championship serves as the qualification for the 2025 Africa U20 Cup of Nations, with only Ghana and Nigeria going through.

This 2025 U20 AFCON will also serve as the African qualifiers for the 2025 FIFA U20 World Cup in Chile, where the four semi-finalists will qualify automatically.
