Ghana's U-15 boys beat Korea Republic 2-1 and now face Mexico in the Round of 16 at the FIFA U-15 World Cup and Festival.
Ghana's U-15 boys are into the knockout rounds in Azerbaijan, and they are not slowing down. A 2-1 win over Korea Republic in the Round of 32 on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, sends the young Black Stars into a last 16 clash with Mexico.
Abdul Aziz Issah put Ghana ahead in the tie, and an own goal gave them the second that proved decisive. It was not the flashiest scoreline of the tournament, but it was a composed, confident display that got the job done when the stakes rose.
The result extends a hugely impressive run at the FIFA Talent Development Scheme event. Ghana have scored 29 goals in six matches, and they topped Group W with a perfect record of five wins from five. That kind of firepower from a group this young is turning heads.
Now comes Mexico, and a stern test of how far this team can go. The Round of 16 meeting is set for 16:30 GMT, with a place in the quarter-finals on the line. Ghana arrive with momentum, goals and belief, and a continent will be watching to see whether the next generation can keep the dream alive.
