-

Black Princesses head coach Charles Sampson has announced a 20-player squad for the WAFU Zone B U-20 Girls’ Cup of Nations, scheduled to take place in Benin from November 7–12, 2025.

The squad boasts a strong domestic core, led by Dreamz Ladies’ key trio: Sarah Nyarko, Ivy Owusu Osei, and Precious Asante.

They are joined by Black Queens forward Mary Amponsah, whose senior international experience is expected to provide leadership to the youthful team.

Ampem Darkoa Ladies contribute three players — Aishetu Awinimi, Diana Amoako, and Linda Owusu Ansah — while in-form striker Agnes Yeboah earns a call-up after scoring a brace for Jonina Ladies in the opening day of the Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League.

Hasaacas Ladies midfielder Rubby Osei also makes the squad, adding further depth to the midfield.

The competition will be played in a round-robin format involving hosts Benin, Ghana and Nigeria, after Niger withdrew from the tournament.

Ghana enter the campaign as defending champions, having lifted the inaugural title on home soil in Kumasi in 2023.
