On Friday, October 16, 2009, Ghana made history by clinching the FIFA U-20 World Cup title, defeating Brazil in a thrilling penalty shootout after a hard-fought match that ended 0-0 after extra time. With Ghana reduced to 10 men early in the match, the victory marked a significant milestone for African football, as it was the first time an African nation had won the prestigious tournament.
The triumph was particularly meaningful for Ghana, which had long aspired to lift a world trophy at the youth level.
The "Golden Generation" of players who achieved this feat were expected to transition into the senior national team, the Black Stars, and continue to make their mark s well s take the world by storm by featuring for prominent clubs.
Fifteen years later, we take a look at the starting eleven from that historic match and where they are now: Goalkeeper Daniel Agyei Agyei, Ghana's hero in the final with two penalty saves, played for Liberty Professionals at the time.
