Nigeria will relish celebrating the maiden WAFU-B U20 Women’s Cup title against Ghana on Saturday.
The final further rekindle the long standing rivalry between the two West African nations in Kumasi.
Both sides have previous represented Africa at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup on more than six occasions, including at Costa Rica 2022, where Nigeria reached the quarterfinal but Ghana crashed from the group stage.
Christopher Danjuma’s side has scored 19 goals after four games and conceded none.
Danjuma, who doubles as Nasarawa Amazons manager couldn’t make it to the season-ending Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership Super Six at the end of the regular season.
Similar fortunes for Yusif Basigi, whose Hasaacas Ladies lost the Ghanaian title to Ampem Darkoa on penalties.
And the final match will offer both coaches a huge chance to bury the disappointment of missing out on their respective domestic league crowns.
