Ghana's national junior badminton team has progressed to the knockout stage of the Mixed Team Relay at the Badmington World Federation Championships after a 10-0 win over Uganda.
The match was a "Relay" format, meaning the first team to win two matches in each of the five categories (Men’s Singles, Women’s Singles, Men’s Doubles, Women’s Doubles, Mixed Doubles) wins the overall tie.
Adu-Mintah was the first to represent Ghana in the Men’s singles and he set the tone with a 9-6 win over Akbar Oduka.
The trend continued in the women’s singles when Rachael Quarcoo edged a tight battle to secure an 18-15 over her opponent Vivian Nalule.

In the men's doubles, the pair of Adu-Mintah & Shang managed a high-scoring 27-23 over Kibirige and Oduka.
Next, Adu teamed up with Quarcoo in the women’s doubles to secure commanding 36-26 win over Nalule / Ndagire.
The mixed doubles also followed a similar outcome as Shang and Adu sealed the overall victory with a 45-36 win against Kibirige / Ndagire.
Ghana continued their form, winning all five remaining matches to complete a historic 10-0 sweep.
Following the first round success, Ghana will now face European champions and third-seeded Slovakia on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
