Ghana’s U-17 women’s national team, the Black Maidens, recorded a commanding 6-0 victory over Liberia in the first leg of the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifiers in Accra on Saturday.
The Black Maidens delivered a dominant performance from start to finish, putting the visitors under intense pressure and scoring six unanswered goals to take firm control of the tie ahead of the return encounter.
The emphatic result extends Ghana’s impressive form in the qualifiers after the team previously eliminated Togo with an 8-0 aggregate scoreline in the opening round.
Liberia struggled to contain Ghana’s attacking strength throughout the match as the hosts thrilled supporters with an entertaining display in Accra.
With the comprehensive first-leg advantage, Ghana are now in a strong position to progress to the next stage of the qualifiers.
The return leg is scheduled to be played in Liberia next weekend, where the Black Maidens will look to complete the job and secure qualification to the next round.
