The Ghana Football Association (GFA) confirmed on April 26, 2026, that Ghana will host the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations in 2027. The country will stage the tournament for the first time in nearly three decades, having last hosted the competition—then known as the African Youth Championship—in 1999. Ghana is a powerhouse in this category, having secured its fourth title most recently in 2021. This designation officially kicks off preparations to ensure the success of the event in 2027.
