Ghana’s Black Satellites head coach Desmond Ofei has expressed his delight after his side avoided Nigeria in the group stage of the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.
The West Africans will face hosts Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, and a yet to be determined team from the UNIFFAC region in Group C.
Nigeria’s Flying Eagles are drawn in a tough group with North African giants, Egypt and Morocco as well as South Africa.

Ghana lost 2-1 to Nigeria in the final of the WAFU B U-20 Championship last year.
Ofei said he is happy his team is not in the same group with the Flying Eagles.
“We’re happy that we’re not in Group B because that’s a very interesting group,” Ofei told Joy Prime Sports.
“I feel like we’re in a position where we can control the narrative of this tournament from our perspective.”
