UDS are 2025 Champions

Dalian, China – September 28, 2025, 10:32 AM GMT – In a heart-stopping finale that will go down in Ghanaian football history, the University for Development Studies (UDS) emerged as the 2025 World University Football Champions. The Ghanaian side clinched a dramatic 2-1 win over Brazil’s UNIP in the FISU World University Football Championship final, sealing the deal with a last-gasp goal from a corner kick in the 120th minute.

A Match for the Ages

The electrifying clash, held today in Dalian, China, saw UDS defy the odds with a display of resilience and skill. With just one minute remaining, a perfectly executed corner kick smashed into the net, sending the Ghanaian bench and fans into a frenzy. “What a game! What a game!” echoed across social media as the final whistle blew, crowning UDS the new world champions. This victory marks Ghana’s rising star on the global university sports stage, a testament to the team’s hard work and unity.

Journey to Glory

UDS’s triumph didn’t come overnight. Earlier this year, the team made history by winning the Africa Universities Soccer Championship in Nigeria, earning the right to represent Ghana at the global event. The Ghana Football Association (GFA) stepped up to support the squad, providing training kits ahead of the tournament to ensure they were well-prepared. “This is a clear testament to the abundance of talent within Ghana’s tertiary education space,” the GFA noted during the kit handover in Accra.

The Ministry of Education also hailed the team’s journey, praising their qualification for the finals as “a shining example of discipline, hard work, and teamwork.” As UDS prepared for the final showdown, the nation rallied behind them, and their efforts paid off spectacularly.

A Goal at the Death

The final was a rollercoaster of emotions. UNIP took an early lead, but UDS fought back with determination. The score remained tight until that unforgettable 120th-minute moment when a killer goal turned the tide. Social media erupted with pride, with posts from @uds_official proclaiming, “From Ghana to the world, we conquered it all! #UDS #FISUWorldCupFootball.”

Celebrating Ghana’s Pride

This victory underscores Ghana’s growing prominence in international sports, with UDS becoming the first Ghanaian university to claim the FISU World University Football Championship title. The team’s success is a beacon of inspiration for young athletes across the nation, proving that with grit and teamwork, the impossible can be achieved.

Congratulating to UDS on this historic achievement!
