Ghana's teenage sensation Jennifer Awuku has been rewarded for her outstanding performances at the 2024/25 CAF African Schools Football Championship with an invitation to serve as a Ball Kid at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final in Morocco on 18 January 2026.

The 15‑year‑old forward from Ridge Church School dazzled at the continental showpiece in Accra on 26 April 2025, earning "Player of the Competition" honours as she led Ghana to the girls' title.

Her awareness in tight spaces, quick feet, and eye for goal caught the attention of CAF technical observers and partners TotalEnergies, who will cover her travel and accommodation for the AFCON showpiece along with a legal guardian.

During her stay in Morocco, Jennifer will take part in development clinics and cultural excursions arranged by CAF and TotalEnergies.
