Jessica Dzamesi scores and converts in shootout as Greater Accra battle Upper West at Elite U15 Girls Championship
The 2026 Elite U15 Girls Championship continued at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram on Saturday, with some of Ghana’s most promising young female footballers taking centre stage under the Ghana Football Association’s FIFA Talent Development Scheme (TDS).
Among the players making an impact was Cabfix Ladies FC forward Jessica Yaa Dzamesi, who registered her first goal of the competition while representing the Greater Accra Region.
Greater Accra were involved in one of the most entertaining fixtures of Matchday Two, playing out a thrilling 3-3 draw against Upper West Region in a match filled with goals and drama. With the competition’s format designed to produce a winner in every game, the two sides proceeded to a penalty shootout to determine who would claim the additional point on offer.
Although Greater Accra eventually fell 4-2 in the shootout, Dzamesi was one of only two Greater Accra players to successfully convert her penalty, showing composure under pressure after already getting on the scoresheet during regulation time.
The goal marked an important milestone for the young forward and highlighted her growing influence within a Greater Accra side made up of some of the region’s brightest young talents.
The Elite U15 Girls Championship serves as a talent identification and development platform, bringing together selected players from across the country to compete while showcasing their abilities before coaches, scouts, and technical experts.
For Cabfix Ladies FC, Dzamesi’s performance represents another positive chapter in the club’s commitment to youth development. In recent years, the club has produced players who have gone on to represent Ghana at various levels, including goalkeeper Belinda Maku Aklie with the Black Maidens and Black Princesses, as well as Jessica Benni, who was part of Ghana’s victorious Black Damsels squad that successfully defended the CAF African Schools Football Championship title in Zimbabwe.
Dzamesi now joins a growing list of young talents from the club gaining exposure on the national stage, with the Elite U15 Girls Championship providing another opportunity for players to take important steps in their football development.
Elsewhere on Matchday Two, Central Region recorded a 2-1 victory over Upper East Region, Volta Region defeated Elite Academy Bolgatanga SHS, Northern Region overcame Western Region, while Ashanti Region secured a narrow 1-0 win over Eastern Region.
With the championship running from June 5 to June 8, attention now shifts to the remaining fixtures as teams continue their quest to develop talent and make an impression at one of Ghana’s premier youth football competitions.
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
