Ecuador and Ghana set for FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Group C opener

Ecuador’s women’s Under-20 side will face Ghana in the opening round of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup on Sunday, 6 September 2026.

The Group C match will kick off at 16:00 GMT at Sosnowiec Arena, with both teams beginning their campaigns in the competition.

The meeting will be Ghana’s first fixture of the tournament and will be broadcast live in the country by national television channel GTV Sports+. Ghanaian supporters will therefore be able to follow the Black Princesses through the domestic broadcaster as they take part in their historic match.

Supporters in Ecuador will have access to coverage through FIFA+, the FIFA global streaming application. The same platform will also provide the match for neutral viewers who want to watch the Group C opener.

The fixture is the first competitive meeting of the tournament for both Ecuador and Ghana, with the two sides starting their respective challenges in Group C at Sosnowiec Arena.

For viewers in Ghana, GTV Sports+ is the designated national broadcaster for the match. The channel will carry live coverage of the Black Princesses’ encounter, giving supporters in the country a direct way to follow the team’s opening appearance in the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.

FIFA+ will provide the alternative viewing option for Ecuadorian fans and audiences elsewhere who are following the match without a specific national team connection. Its global availability makes it the platform identified for supporters of Ecuador and neutral viewers.

The match is scheduled for 16:00 GMT on Sunday, 6 September 2026. It will form part of the first day of competition in Group C, with Ecuador and Ghana both beginning the tournament at the same venue.

The fixture will be played at Sosnowiec Arena, which will host the opening-round contest between the Ecuador national Under-20 team and the Ghana national Under-20 team.

With the Black Princesses’ match being shown domestically on GTV Sports+ and the game also available through FIFA+, viewers have two stated broadcast options depending on their location and preference.

Ecuador and Ghana will meet as the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup gets under way for the two Group C teams. The match’s scheduled start time is 16:00 GMT, and supporters can follow the action through the relevant live coverage on Sunday.
