Black Starlets begin WAFU B U-17 Championship with win over Togo

The Black Starlets began their campaign at the 2026 WAFU Zone B U-17 Championship with a 1-0 win over Togo on Saturday at the August 4 Sports Stadium in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

David Kwarteng scored the only goal of the match in the seventh minute to give coach Kassim Ocansey’s team three important points as they aim to qualify for the 2027 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The goal came from a set-piece move started by Abdul Latif Wunzalgu. After Latif’s free-kick was blocked, captain Abdul Rafiu Issah had an attempt that fell to Kwarteng, who finished well to put Ghana ahead.

The Black Starlets played attacking football and created several chances to score more goals. However, they failed to take advantage of their opportunities and had to settle for a narrow win.

Striker Alidu Issah, winger Yaw Acheampong and playmaker Abdul Latif Wunzalgu all had chances to extend Ghana’s lead but could not score. Their missed opportunities allowed Togo to remain in the game until the final whistle.

Despite missing several chances, the victory gives Ghana a positive start as they seek to qualify for the 2027 U-17 AFCON through the WAFU Zone B tournament.

The three points also put the Black Starlets at the top of Group A after hosts Burkina Faso and Benin played out a goalless draw earlier.

Ghana will face Benin on Tuesday, October 13, in their second group match. Another positive result would strengthen their chances of qualifying.

However, coach Ocansey will want his attackers to be more accurate in front of goal as the tournament continues.
