FOOTBALL: GHANA IN THE FINAL OF THE UFOA TOURNAMENT

Ghana secured its place in the final of the UFOA (Union of West African Federations) tournament with a 2-1 victory over Burkina Faso. Despite starting off in a challenging position, trailing Benin in the group, Ghana’s win ensured their qualification. Meanwhile, Benin, leading 2-0 against Sierra Leone at halftime, had to settle for a 2-2 draw, finishing the match with nine players due to two red cards.

With six points, Ghana topped the group, followed by Benin with five points. Burkina Faso, unable to replicate its UEMOA tournament success, did not advance to the final. The opponent for Ghana in the final will be determined after the matches between Niger and Togo and Senegal and Liberia. Senegal, leading the group with six points, is in a strong position to qualify for the final.
