The Volta Region has been drawn in Group B of the maiden MTN Elite U-19 Championship, a new national football tournament launched to identify and nurture the next generation of football talents across Ghana.
The competition, sponsored by telecommunications giant MTN, will run from October 24 to November 2, 2025, at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence, Prampram.
The tournament is designed to provide a platform for male footballers born between 2007 and 2008 and registered with Division Two clubs.
It aims to give these young players the opportunity to represent their regions, compete for the championship title, and attract the attention of scouts and national team coaches.
Chairman of the Championship Committee, Mr. Eric Edem Agbana, assured stakeholders of effective organisation and professionalism throughout the event, describing it as an important springboard for young footballers to advance in their careers.
Prior to the official launch, the Championship Committee held a meeting with Regional Football Association chairpersons to discuss modalities and ensure smooth coordination.
Mr. Agbana said all parties were committed to working together to deliver an exciting and successful tournament.
Under the group pairings, Group A comprises the Northern, Upper West, Brong Ahafo, Eastern, and Western regions, while Group B includes the Greater Accra, Ashanti, Central, Volta, and Upper East regions.
Mr. Agbana expressed optimism that the MTN Elite U-19 Championship would unearth exceptional young talents and further strengthen Ghana’s football development pathway.
