Ghana’s women U-20 team have been handed a place in Group B for the 10th edition of the All Africa Games.
The Black Princesses are holed up with South Africa, Zimbabwe and Tanzania after Tuesday's draw by Caf in Cairo for the multi-sport event.
Hosts, Mozambique are in Group A which comprises Cameroon, Guinea and Algeria for the tournament which will be played from 3-18 September.
Assistant coach of Ghana U-20 women’s team, Ben Fokuo, after the draw has backed the Black Princesses to be ready for task in a tough group.
“We are ready for all the teams. Every team that has reached this far is eying the ultimate and we have to prepare feverishly to make a point at the tournament," Fokuo told Cafonline.com.
“South Africa are amongst the bigwigs of women’s football on the continent and always have a strong team. In 2007, they beat us 2-1 at the semi final and that loss remains fresh in our minds,” he said.
“We don’t know much about Zimbabwe and Tanzania, and cannot afford to underrate them either. There are always surprises in such tournaments and we will not make room for any surprises.”
