Ghana drawn against Senegal in 2026 Beach Soccer AFCON

Ghana has been placed in Group A for the 2026 Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) alongside the host nation and defending champions, Senegal. The official draw ceremony was conducted on November 5, 2026, at the Confederation of African Football (CAF) headquarters in Cairo, Egypt. This placement sets up a challenging path for Ghana's national beach soccer team, the Black Sharks, as they prepare to compete on the continental stage.

The Group A lineup is completed by Mozambique and Uganda, making it a competitive pool for the upcoming tournament. Senegal remains the primary focus of the group, entering the competition as the most successful team in the history of the event with seven titles to their name. Ghana is scheduled to play their opening match against the hosts, a fixture that will test the Black Sharks' mettle early in the competition.

The draw results highlight the growing competitiveness of beach soccer across the continent, with Mozambique and Uganda also representing significant hurdles for Ghana's progression. The Black Sharks will need to finish among the top two in the group to advance to the knockout rounds. As the tournament in Senegal approaches, the Ghanaian team is expected to intensify preparations to navigate a group that features both the reigning champions and emerging regional powers.
