THE WEST African Football Union Zone B (WAFU B) has announced new dates for the second edition of the WAFU B U-20 Girls Cup, which will now be staged from November 7 to 12, 2025, in Benin.
The regional body adjusted the tournament’s original schedule — previously set for November 3 to 10 — to allow participating nations more time for preparation and logistical arrangements.
So far, three countries have confirmed their participation: host nation Benin, Nigeria, and defending champions Ghana.
Ghana’s U-20 women’s team, the Black Princesses, will enter the competition as reigning champions, aiming to defend the title they won in Kumasi during the maiden edition, where they edged Nigeria 3-1 on penalties after a thrilling final.
The WAFU B U-20 Girls Cup continues to serve as an essential platform for nurturing young female footballers across West Africa, promoting development, competition, and international exposure for the region’s emerging talents.
