AFCON U20: Ghana Set for Group C Battles Against Senegal, DR Congo, and Central African Republic——Ghana has drawn defending champions Senegal as well as DR Congo and the Central African Republic in Group C of the 2025 TotalEnergies CAF Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament, to be held in Egypt.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) conducted a fresh draw on Sunday April 13, 2025, following the withdrawal of Côte d’Ivoire as tournament hosts.

The Black Satellites will battle reigning champions Senegal and face off against DR Congo and the Central African Republic in Group C.

Running from 27 April to 18 May, the 2025 tournament will bring together 13 teams from across the continent, divided into three groups—one of five teams and two of four.

The top two teams from each group, plus the two best third-placed teams, will advance to the quarter-finals.

The CAF U-20 AFCON has long served as a springboard to stardom. Past editions have spotlighted players like Mohamed Salah, Andre Ayew, and Victor Osimhen, who all went on to feature at the highest levels of the global game.

With a mix of seasoned contenders and ambitious debutants, the CAF U-20 AFCON, Egypt 2025, promises not just fierce competition, but a showcase of the next wave of African football talent.
