The victory at Saly Beach keeps Ghana’s campaign alive and sees the team advance further in the competition.

Ghana had endured a difficult start to their Pool C campaign, losing their opening match 2-0 to Australia’s Ryan Edgar and Thomas Turner on October 31.

The duo Justice Adusei Amoafo and Daniel Lartey suffered another 2-0 defeat against Kazakhstan’s Alikhan Agabek and Orazali Sagynysh on Sunday, November 1.

However, the Ghanaian pair responded against Morocco, defeating Yasser Errazi and his teammate 2-0 to secure their first win of the tournament.

The result offers Ghana a timely boost as they continue their pursuit of a strong finish at Dakar 2026, the first Youth Olympic Games to be staged on African soil. Ghana are represented by 13 athletes across various sporting disciplines at the Games.
