Black Satellites forward Jerry Afriyie has claimed the title of top scorer in the 2024 WAFU Zone B U20 Championship, confirming his status as one of Ghana’s promising young players. With a remarkable total of five goals, Afriyie ended the tournament as the competition’s leading scorer.
His final goal came during the intense championship match against Nigeria, where he scored Ghana’s only goal in a hard-fought 2-1 loss. This decisive strike served as a consolation for Ghana, who narrowly missed out on the title.
Despite the loss, Afriyie’s consistent scoring played a significant role in the Black Satellites’ journey through the tournament. Throughout the competition, he showcased his sharp goal-scoring instincts, leading Ghana’s offense with accuracy and resilience.
Afriyie’s goals were crucial in helping Ghana reach the final and secure a spot in the 2025 CAF U20 Africa Cup of Nations, where he is expected to be a player to watch. His achievements in the WAFU Zone B U20 Championship highlight not only his talent but also his potential as a rising star in African football.
