The Ghana U-17 Women’s National Team, the Black Maidens, are set to begin their quest for a return to the global stage when they face Togo in the opening round of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2026 Qualifiers.

Drawn against the West African neighbours, Ghana will play the two-legged first-round tie between 10–12 April 2026, with the return leg scheduled for 17–19 April 2026.

For the Black Maidens, the assignment marks the first step in a carefully mapped journey toward reclaiming Ghana’s place among the world’s elite youth teams.

Victory over Togo would propel Ghana into the second round, where they would face either Libya or Liberia scheduled for 22–24 May and 29–31 May.

In the third round, Ghana could potentially meet heavyweights such as Senegal, Tunisia, Algeria, or Cameroon also to played over two legs from 3–5 July and 10–12 July, 2026. The team will regroup in the coming days in readiness for a return to the world stage.
