The sub-regional competition, which runs from June 11 to 24, features Benin, Togo, Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, and hosts Ghana.
Ghana will kick off their campaign against Nigeria at the Cape Coast stadium on Saturday, with Graphic Sports reporting that coach Fabin had presented the final 20-man squad to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for approval.
