Ghana's U-15 Boys and Girls teams will discover their opponents for the fifth edition of the African Schools Championship WAFU-B zonal qualifiers when the official draw takes place on Monday, November 16, 2026, at the WAFU-B headquarters in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

The zonal tournament, which will determine the representatives for the continental finals, is  now scheduled to take place in Lomé, Togo, from December 6–9, 2026, with participating nations competing in both the Boys' and Girls' U-15 categories.

Ghana's Girls team will be aiming to build on their impressive performances in the previous edition, having secured silver at the WAFU-B finals in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. They subsequently defeated the same opponents to successfully defend their CAF African Schools Football Championship title, cementing Ghana's  strength in youth women's football.

The U-15 Boys will equally be eager to make their mark as they prepare for another opportunity to showcase their talent on the regional stage.

Organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), the African Schools Championship provides a valuable platform for identifying, nurturing and showcasing emerging football talent from schools across the continent.

The WAFU-B zone comprises Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Benin and Niger, alongside hosts Togo, all competing for qualification and regional honours.
