Coach Desmond Ofei is feeling positive about Ghana’s group stage draw in the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations. Avoiding Nigeria, who are in a tough group with Egypt, Morocco, and South Africa, seems to have lifted a weight off his shoulders. Ghana’s placement in Group A with Côte d’Ivoire, DR Congo, Tanzania, and the yet-to-be-determined UNIFFAC team gives them a solid opportunity to make progress in the tournament.
The Black Satellites are coming off a tough loss to Nigeria in the WAFU B U-20 Championship final, so this new draw could help them refocus and perhaps get the momentum they need to go far in the competition. Ofei’s confidence in controlling the narrative of the tournament from Ghana’s side will be key.
What do you think of Ghana’s chances in the tournament, given this draw?
