AFCON U20: Ghana to face hosts Egypt in Monday's quarter-final

Ghana’s Black Satellites will face Egypt in a crucial quarter-final. This match is part of the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations. A spot at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile is at stake.

Ghana performed well in the group stage. They topped Group C with seven points. The team secured two wins and one draw, conceding only once. Although they scored three goals, their tactical discipline was impressive.

Egypt qualified as one of the best third-placed teams from Group A. Now, they stand between Ghana and a return to the world stage. A win for either team guarantees a place in the semi-finals and automatic qualification for the 2025 U-20 World Cup.

Ghana won the U-20 World Cup in 2009 but missed the last four editions. This quarter-final is a vital chance for them to regain their status in youth football.

The home crowd will pressure Egypt, while Ghana seeks to end their decade-long absence from the World Cup. The stage is set for an intense match on Saturday.
