Ghana will face the defending champions of the Africa U-17 Nations Cup in a make or break affair in the final of this year’s championship at the Stade De Agondje on Sunday.

The national male U-17 football team started the competition on a bright, scoring nine goals in their opening two games- 4-0 and 5-0 against Cameroon and Gabon respectively to send a big caution to the other participants that they were in the tournament for business.

However, they were prevented from scoring in their final group A game against Guinea and were also held to a goalless draw by Niger in the semi-finals, yet they survived the scare and won 6-5 on penalties to book a date in the final.
