There will be no Under-20 and Under-17 World Cups in 2021 after FIFA cancelled the tournaments.
Ghana's U20 team, the Black Satellites, recently won the WAFU Zone B tournament and qualified to the CAF U20 Cup of Nations where they would contested for a world ticket.
The Bureau of the FIFA Council announced its decision on Thursday, 24 December 2020, due to the covid-19 pandemic.
A statement read: "The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present challenges for the hosting of international sporting events and to have a restrictive effect on international travel. FIFA has therefore regularly consulted the relevant stakeholders, including the host member associations as well as the confederations involved in both tournaments originally scheduled to take place in 2021.
"In doing so, it became clear that the global situation has failed to normalise to a sufficient level to address the challenges associated with hosting both tournaments, including the feasibility of the relevant qualification pathways."
