Ghana’s male U-17 team, the Black Starlets will face Nigeria and Togo in the group stage of the 2022 WAFU Zone B U-17 Cup of Nations following the draw on Friday.

The draw held in Niger produced some intriguing pairings, with hosts Ghana pitted against sworn rivals Nigeria and Togo in Group A, which has only three teams.

In Group B, Cote d'Ivoire, Benin, Burkina Faso, and Niger will compete.

After failing to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations in 2018, the Black Starlets are determined to do so this time.

Coach Samuel Fabin's team has been preparing for this competition since December 2021.

The WAFU Zone B leadership settled on Cape Coast, Ghana, as the venue for the tournament.

The tournament will be held in the Central Regional capital from Saturday, June 11 to Friday, June 24, 2022, and will serve as a qualifier for the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations.
