Ghana women’s national under-20 football team have booked their place at the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup after battling to a 1-1 draw against Uganda women’s national under-20 football team at the FUFA Stadium in Kampala on Saturday afternoon.
The result was enough to send Ghana through on aggregate following their 2-1 victory in the first leg played in Accra last week.
Uganda started the match brightly and grabbed an early lead in the sixth minute, taking a 1-0 advantage into halftime as they searched for a comeback.
However, the Black Princesses responded strongly after the break, with Linda Owusu Ansah scoring in the 78th minute to level the match and effectively secure qualification for Ghana.
