Greater Accra will face Central Region in the third-place playoff of the 2025 KGL U-17 Inter-Regional Championship on Saturday, September 27, at the McDan Teshie Sports Complex, with kickoff scheduled for 1pm local time.

Greater Accra narrowly missed out on a spot in the final after a dramatic 6–5 penalty shootout defeat to Ashanti Region in the semi-finals. They will now aim to cap an otherwise impressive campaign with a podium finish.

Central Region also fell just short of the championship match, suffering a 1–0 loss to defending champions Western Region in Thursday’s second semi-final at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence. Like their Accra counterparts, they will be eager to end their tournament on a high.

Now in its fifth edition, the KGL U-17 Inter-Regional Championship has firmly established itself as Ghana’s premier platform for identifying and nurturing emerging football talent.

The 2025 competition features an expanded 12-team lineup, uniting all ten Regional Football Associations with the two GFA Elite Academies, ensuring both competitive depth and nationwide representation.

Backed by a landmark five-year, $1 million sponsorship from the KGL Foundation, the tournament remains a cornerstone of the Ghana Football Association’s grassroots development strategy, promoting talent identification, safeguarding player welfare and inspiring the next generation of Ghanaian football stars.
