2025 AFCON U-20: Jerry Afriyie returns to Ghana Camp ahead of quarterfinals clash

Jerry Afriyie, 11, is back with Ghana's Under-20 team. He rejoined the Black Satellites for their quarterfinal match against Egypt.

This important game will start on Monday, May 12, at 15:00 GMT. Ghana will face the host nation of the 2025 AFCON Under-20 Championship.

The winner will advance to the semifinals and qualify for the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in September. Afriyie played in Ghana’s 1-1 draw with D.R. Congo and a 1-0 win over Senegal.

He left to join his Spanish club CD Lugo after those matches. Since this competition isn’t organized by FIFA, teams can recall players. Lugo took advantage of this rule to bring Afriyie back for a game against Gimnastic.

Recently, he scored and assisted in a 2-2 draw for Lugo in the Spanish Federacion League. Ghana remains the only African nation to win the Under-20 World Cup.
