Starlets to face Togo on October 10 in U-17 AFCON qualifying campaign
The Black Starlets will begin their quest for qualification to the 2027 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations when they face neighbours Togo in their opening game of the WAFU Zone B U-17 Championship on October 10, 2026.
The Ghana national under-17 football team, known as the Black Starlets, are set to kick off their journey towards qualifying for the 2027 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations when they take on Togo in the WAFU Zone B U-17 Championship opener on October 10, 2026. The highly anticipated match will be held at the 4th August Sports Stadium in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, with the Black Starlets aiming to make a strong debut under their head coach Kasim Ocansey Mingle.
Three days after their opener, on October 13, Ghana will face Benin in their second Group B fixture. The team, which were the former FIFA U-17 World Cup champions, will then wrap up their group-stage matches against Burkina Faso on October 16. Winning the tournament will secure Ghana a place at the 2027 U-17 AFCON, hosted by Morocco, with only the two finalists of the WAFU Zone B championship guaranteed entry into the continental showpiece.
