The Ghanaian teenage boys drew 1-1 with Burkina Faso in their opening match before thrashing hosts Niger 5-0 in the second match to progress to the last four but fell 1-0 to Cote D'voire in the semi-final.

A total of six WAFU B nations are participating in both the boys and girls divisions of the tournament, where each nation will contest the honours of being crowned champions of the zone and secure a place at the CAF African Schools Football Championship Finals set to take place in 2025.

The CAF African Schools Football Championship, an initiative launched by CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe, is making strides in youth football development across Africa.

With over 800,000 participants from more than 28,000 schools across 44 countries, the competition offers young players an invaluable platform to showcase their skills and pursue their football dreams.

This tournament both symbolizes CAF's commitment to nurturing African football talent and its support for the growth of future leaders in the game across the continent.
