Benin face Argentina in crucial U20 Women’s World Cup Group A clash

Published on: 08 September 2026

The Benin U20 women’s team return to action on Tuesday with a decisive Group A match against Argentina, after opening their campaign with a valuable 2-2 draw against Mexico.

The Amazones U20 secured an important point in their first match and now face an Argentina side seeking a response after suffering a heavy 3-0 defeat by Poland. With both teams facing a significant moment in the group, Benin have a major opportunity to strengthen their hopes of reaching the next round.

Kick-off is scheduled for 13:00 GMT.

The match will be broadcast nationally in Benin on Benin TV, while international viewers can watch it on beIN Sports. The game is expected to attract considerable attention as Benin attempt to build on their encouraging start against Mexico.

The 2-2 draw gave the Benin side a positive opening to the tournament, but their next assignment presents a different challenge against Argentina. The South American team come into the fixture under pressure following their three-goal loss to Poland and will be determined to recover in Group A.

For Benin, the contest represents more than a second group match. A strong result would improve their position in the competition and help them pursue what would be a historic place in the next round. Their draw with Mexico demonstrated their ability to compete at this level, and they will now look to produce another important performance against Argentina.

The Amazones U20 will therefore be aiming to maintain the momentum created by their first appearance in the group. Argentina, meanwhile, must respond after their difficult start against Poland, setting up a crucial encounter for both teams.

Supporters in Benin can follow the national coverage through Benin TV, with beIN Sports providing the international broadcast. The match begins at 13:00 GMT on Tuesday.
