Ghana’s U15 girls national football team has booked a place in the semi-finals of the ongoing CAF African Schools Championship following an impressive 2-0 win over Benin on Thursday morning at the University of Ghana Stadium in Legon.
The dominant victory marked Ghana’s second consecutive win in the group stage, ensuring their qualification to the final four with a game still to play. The team will round off their group stage campaign later on Thursday with a fixture against Malawi.
The young Ghanaian side had already made a strong impression in their opening match, edging out a stubborn Moroccan team 1-0. Their follow-up performance against Benin was even more assertive, as they displayed fluid team play, crisp passing, and tactical cohesion to secure the three points.
With two wins from two, Ghana’s U15 girls have emerged as one of the standout teams in the tournament. Their progression to the semi-finals mirrors the success of their male counterparts, the U15 boys, who also advanced to the last four earlier in the week after a similar string of back-to-back victories.
The CAF African Schools Championship, a key initiative under CAF’s youth development agenda, continues to shine a spotlight on emerging talent from across the continent. As both Ghanaian teams march into the semi-finals, expectations among local supporters are soaring, with hopes of a historic double triumph in this prestigious youth competition.
Ghana now turns its attention to the knockout stage, with fans eager to see whether the U15 girls can carry their momentum all the way to the final and possibly lift the championship trophy.
