Ivory Coast to host maiden Wafu Zone B qualification tournament for African Schools tournament
Ghana will be represented by students from Offinso College of education JHS and Maakro M/A JHS in the maiden edition of the competition in Ivory Coast.
The two schools were crowned winners of the U-16 inter school-based competition held from July 19th to Saturday July 23rd in the Ashanti region, Kumasi.
The two schools will represent Ghana and compete for a place to participate in the first ever CAF African Schools Championship.
This competition is part of the numerous initiatives by the new leadership of CAF, under Dr. Patrice Motsepe. The plan is to develop football at the juvenile level across the continent
Togo, Niger, Burkina Faso, Benin and host nation, Ivory Coast are the other five teams that make up Zone B. The competition will be for both males and females.
The aim of this competition is to help identify and development talents at the grassroot level and also promote education.
Defending champions Medeama SC will be at home to Swedru All Blacks at the TNA Stadium in Tarkwa.
The home team has been excellent at home, winning all four of its games while scoring nine and conceding just two, which makes them a formidable side at home.
They are returning home following a 1-1 draw with Asante Kotoko in Kumasi.
The Black Magicians were on a three-match winning run, but it came to a crashing halt following a 2-1 loss to AshantiGold last weekend.
They would hope to give a good account of themselves in Tarkwa.
Prediction: Medeama SC 2-0 Swedru All Blacks
Bibiani Gold Stars will host Aduana Stars at Dun’s Park in Bibiani.
Both teams are at opposite ends of the league table.
The Miners have struggled for consistency in the league so far, so it is hardly surprising that they occupy 15th spot with 10 points, just above the relegation zone – quite unusual for a former league champion.
Aduana have picked three wins from five games in the league.
Their most recent win was against the regional rivals, Berekum Chelsea through an Amankona brace.
They will hoping to repeat the dosage against a difficult opponent, Goldstars.
Bar Hearts of Oak, they are the second best defensive side in the league, with just 5 goals conceded.
Prediction: Gold Stars 2-1 Aduana Stars
Golden City Park will witness one of the weekend’s top fixtures between Berekum Chelsea and Kotoko in week ten of the 2026/7 Ghana Premier League.
Berekum Chelsea have endured a torrid campaign so far, having secured just three wins from nine games in the lead-up to their clash against the Porcupine Warriors.
They lost to Aduana Stars last weekend and will need to step up against the Kumasi-based club, who are coming to town for what promises to be a cliffhanger.
They sit 11th with 11 points from nine games, scoring 10 and conceding 11.
Meanwhile, the former champions have underwhelmed this season.
They have gathered 13 points from nine games, scoring and conceding 10 goals apiece.
The Porcupine Warriors are still seeking consistency, which will make this a dicey game at Golden City Park.
Prediction: Berekum Chelsea 1-1 Asante Kotoko
The battle of the two Hearts will come off at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
The two teams have endured contrasting fortunes since the start of the season.
The home team surprisingly lost to newly promoted Debibi United last weekend, ending a four-match unbeaten run.
They boast the league’s best defensive record (only 3 goals conceded) and an outstanding home record—unbeaten at the UG Stadium this season (3 wins, 1 draw, and zero goals conceded).
This is a feat Coach Nebojsa Kapor will be hoping to protect, preserve, and continue against familiar foes.
Meanwhile, Heart of Lions arrive with renewed confidence after a 2-1 win over Bechem United that ended a three-game losing streak.
They are more open and higher-scoring than Hearts, but less consistent defensively.
This game has all to play for both teams looking to get a bit of the Premier League .
Prediction : Hearts of Oak 2-1 Heart of Lions
