Black Satellites forward, Jerry Afriyie, has emerged as the top scorer of the 2024 WAFU Zone B U20 Championship, solidifying his reputation as one of Ghana’s brightest young talents.
Afriyie concluded the tournament with an impressive tally of five goals, leading as the highest-scoring player in the competition. His final goal came in the championship match against Nigeria, where his lone strike provided Ghana’s only consolation in a narrow 2-1 loss.
Though Ghana missed out on the title, Afriyie’s consistent scoring was pivotal to the Black Satellites’ campaign. His ability to break through defenses and find the back of the net proved essential as he led Ghana’s attack with precision and strength, helping secure their qualification for the 2025 CAF U20 Africa Cup of Nations.
Afriyie’s goal-scoring prowess throughout the tournament underscores his remarkable skill and marks him as a rising star in African football, with much more to come as he continues his journey on the international
stage.
