Ghana's Black Starlets will face the Stallions of Burkina Faso in the semifinal of the ongoing 2024 WAFU B U-17 Championship.

Laryea Kingston and his charges cruised their way to the last four after wins over Ivory Coast and Benin to top Group A.

Meanwhile, Burkina Faso stunned Niger by a 1-0 on Thursday morning to book a place in the last four.

The win saw them finish second in Group B same points as Nigeria but trailed on goal differential.

The Stallions beat Ghana 1-0 to make the final ending the Starlets' dream of returning to the continental stage.

Laryea Kingston's side will be out for revenge and secure a ticket to the final which will also guarantee participation in the next edition of the U-17 AFCON.

The other game will see Nigeria take on Cote d'Ivoire.
