Ghana’s U-15 forward, Jennifer Awuku, has been selected as one of two people from this year’s CAF African Schools Football Championship to serve at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Jennifer was adjudged the Best Player of the tournament, which was held at the University of Ghana Stadium in April this year.
The youngster, who has now joined Ghana Women’s Premier League side Hasaacas Ladies, will serve as a ball kid at the continental showpiece to be staged in Morocco later this year.
Senegal’s Souleymane Faye is the other player chosen from the tournament in Accra, with the two of them now set to be involved in the AFCON.
The initiative reflects CAF President Dr Patrice Motsepe’s vision for the holistic development of African youth, offering not only competitive platforms but also cultural exchange opportunities that empower and inspire the next generation of African leaders on and off the pitch.
She played a pivotal role for Ghana’s U-15 Girls as they won the African Schools Football Championship for the first time in their history, scoring in the opening goal of the tournament.
