The Black Maidens, representing Ghana in the 2026 WAFU B U-17 Girls Cup, are set to face Nigeria in their upcoming match on Friday, September 18. The team is aiming to build on their strong start to the competition after defeating Burkina Faso in their opening game. Nana Joe Adarkwa's side put on a display of four goals, with two in each half, during their first encounter. However, they will face a different challenge against Nigeria, who are coming into the match with confidence following their own opening win.
Nigeria showcased their strength by securing a commanding victory over Niger in their tournament opener, netting a total of five goals. As the current leader of the league table, Nigeria boasts five goals scored on the first day of matches, while Ghana trails by just one goal. Nana Joe Adarkwa's team concluded their final training session on Thursday before gearing up for the important fixture against Nigeria.
This tournament serves as valuable preparation for the Black Maidens as they prepare to compete in the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco next month. The much-anticipated game against Nigeria is scheduled to kick off at 18:00 GMT.
