Coach Joe Nana Adarkwa tweaks Ghana's XI for a crucial U-17 Women's World Cup group clash with Brazil, with kick-off at 6:00 PM.
Ghana's Black Maidens carry the continent's hopes into a huge U-17 Women's World Cup group-stage showdown with Brazil today, Wednesday, October 21, 2026, with kick-off set for 6:00 PM. Head coach Joe Nana Adarkwa has decided a little freshness is needed for the occasion.
The gaffer has made two changes to his starting line-up. Cynthia Obinsrewuo gets the nod in place of Priscilla Mensah, while Sekinatu Amadu steps in for Ashiaku Christiana. Both come in with a chance to make a real impact on the world stage.
It's a bold call against a Brazilian side that always brings flair and technical quality to youth tournaments. Adarkwa clearly believes these two adjustments give Ghana the right balance and energy for a match this important.
For the Black Maidens, this is a chance to show what African girls' football is about on the global stage: grit, pace and fearless ambition. All eyes will be on how the new faces settle in, and whether Ghana can turn the tactical tweaks into a result that keeps their World Cup campaign firmly on track.
