<Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> 2013 Turkey </Td> <Td> Team </Td> </Tr> <P> Ghana national U-20 football team known as the Black Satellites, is considered to be the feeder team for the Ghana national football team . They are the former FIFA U-20 World Cup Champions and African Youth Champions, they have also been a three - time African Champion in 1995, 1999, 2009 and a two - time Runner - up at the FIFA World Youth Championship in 1993, 2001 and finished third in 2013 . Ghana has participated in only six of the past 19 World Cup events starting with their first in Australia 1993 where they lost the World Cup final 1 - 2 to Brazil in Sydney and in Argentina 2001 where they lost the World Cup final 0 - 3 to Argentina in Buenos Aires . Incredibly, in 32 FIFA World Cup matches, Ghana has not lost a game in regulation below the Semi Final level of the FIFA U20 World Cup . They however failed to qualify for 3 consecutive events in UAE 2003, Netherlands 2005 and Canada 2007 until they made the Egypt 2009 Tournament . </P> <P> They won the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup in the Cairo International Stadium, Cairo, Egypt after defeating Brazil 4 - 3 on Penalties when the match ended (0 - 0) After Extra Time . The first time an African Country won the FIFA U-20 World Cup Championship . </P> <P> The Black Satellites reached the FIFA U-20 World Cup final in their 1st appearance in Australia 1993 (Australia 1993 U-20 html Stats here), catching many teams on the hop with their lightning changes of pace . In fact, nine of the 22 players in the "Black Satellites"' squad had lifted the FIFA U-17 World Championship two years earlier, so their performance could only really be considered a half - surprise . Still they were a joy to watch: enterprising and unpredictable . They repeated the feat in 2001 succumbing to Tournament Hosts Argentina in the Final . Previously in 1997, they had lost 3 - 2 on a golden goal to Uruguay in Extra Time of the World Cup Semi Final . In 1999 eventual Champions Spain eliminated Ghana in the Quarter Final on sudden death penalty kicks after a 1 - 1 tied game . </P>
