CAF African Schools Football Championship: Team Profile - Benin (Girls)

Benin will be the second team to represent the WAFU B Zone at the CAF African Schools Football Championship Continental Finals along with Zonal champions, Ghana.

Despite falling short of lifting the title that was won by Ghana, Benin will also be at the Accra finals as a result of them finishing second in the qualifiers behind Ghana, who by virtue of being hosts, gain automatic qualification.  

This marks Benin’s second appearance at the continental finals after their 2022-23 debut in Durban, South Africa during the inaugural edition where they went out in the group stages.

They were on that occasion represented by General Education College Colby, who had been victorious in the zonal qualifiers.

Benin head to Accra with determination and a willingness to prove that they are one of the best teams on the continent.

Moustaliratou Yessouffou will be key for Benin in goals. The young shot-stopper was voted Goalkeeper of the Tournament during the WAFU B qualifiers and will be hoping to continue with her impressive form.
