UDS crowned African university football champions again
Ghana’s University for Development Studies (UDS) have once again etched their name into African university football history after successfully defending their continental title in Cairo.
Ghana's University for Development Studies (UDS) have claimed the African university football championship for a record-breaking second consecutive edition. The Tamale-based institution defeated Guinea's Julius Nyerere University 2-1 in Cairo to retain the title. This victory marks UDS as the first university in African university football history to win the continental championship in back-to-back editions.
The university's impressive journey to the final culminated in a commanding performance in the semi-finals, where they swept aside Egypt's Delta University 4-0. The triumph in Cairo underscores UDS' status as a dominant force in African university football and further solidifies Ghana's presence on the global stage. The university's remarkable rise, including a FISU World University Football Championship win in 2025, showcases their consistency and quality in international competitions.
