The Black Satellites of Ghana face reigning champions Senegal today, May 5, in a crucial group stage match at the 2025 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) at the New Suez Stadium, with kick-off set for 18:00 GMT. Both teams are looking for their first win after disappointing draws in their opening matches—Ghana drew 1-1 with DR Congo, and Senegal was held to a goalless draw by the Central African Republic.
This match brings back memories of their 2019 encounter, where Senegal won 2-0. Historically, Ghana has only beaten a defending U-20 AFCON champion once, back in 1993 against Egypt. Senegal has a strong record against West African rivals, while Ghana’s recent form against WAFU teams has been inconsistent. This encounter is vital for both teams as they aim to strengthen their chances of progressing to the knockout stages.
