In a move that promises another thrilling chapter in West African women’s football, the West African Football Union (WAFU) Zone B has announced Benin as the official host of the 2025 WAFU B U20 Girls Cup, scheduled from November 3 to 10, 2025.

The week-long tournament will once again spotlight the best young female footballers across the sub-region — a true celebration of passion, progress, and potential.

Among the early confirmed participants are Benin, Ghana, Nigeria, and Niger, with other member nations expected to join in the coming days.

All eyes, however, will be on the Black Princesses of Ghana, who return as defending champions after their unforgettable triumph in the maiden edition held in 2023. That historic tournament in Kumasi saw Ghana edge fierce rivals Nigeria 3–1 on penalties, after a pulsating final ended in a draw — a result that crowned Ghana as queens of the region and reaffirmed their dominance in women’s youth football.

For many of these young athletes, the WAFU B U20 Girls Cup is more than just a competition — it’s a gateway to professional dreams and national glory. The tournament continues to serve as a vital platform for nurturing emerging stars who will one day shine on the continental and global stage.

As November 2025 draws closer, anticipation grows across the region. Fans await another thrilling showdown of skill, unity, and determination, as the next generation of West African female footballers step onto the grand stage to write their stories.
