Black Maidens Set to Compete in Group A of WAFU Zone B U-17 Girls Cup

Ghana’s U-17 women’s football team, the Black Maidens, have been placed in Group A alongside Benin and Burkina Faso for the inaugural WAFU Zone B U-17 Girls Cup.

The draw was conducted at the WAFU Zone B headquarters in Côte d’Ivoire and marks a key step in the resurgence of the Black Maidens, who have been inactive on the international stage in recent years.

This tournament serves as an essential platform for the team’s rebuilding efforts and preparation for the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifiers. To gear up for the competition, the Maidens have been in an intensive five-week training camp in Bibiani, generously supported by Asante Gold Corporation.

The tournament will take place in Ghana from 12th to 26th December 2024.
