The stage is set for a mouth-watering finale at the 2025 WAFU B U17 Boys Championship as the Black Starlets lock horns with hosts Ivory Coast in what promises to be a blockbuster clash on Saturday in Yamoussoukro. The Black Starlets punched their ticket to the final in emphatic fashion, silencing arch-rivals Nigeria with a commanding 2-0 victory in the semi-finals. Standing in their way are familiar foes Ivory Coast, who edged Burkina Faso 2-1 to reach the grand finale. The hosts boast the psychological edge, having beaten the Ghana in the group stage, but the Starlets’ resurgence has been nothing short of remarkable. From a shaky start to dismantling Niger 3-1 and sweeping aside Nigeria, Ghana have grown stronger with each passing game.
