Ghana: Ghana's women's national under-17 football team, the Black Maidens, will begin their campaign in the African qualifiers for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup with a two-legged first-round encounter against Togo.
According to Ghana News Agency, the first leg is scheduled for Sunday, April 12, 2026, at Stade de K©gu© in Lom©, with kickoff set for 4:00 p.m. The return leg would be played six days later at the Accra Sports Stadium, with kickoff set for 3:30 p.m.
