Ghana has been drawn in group D to play Uzbekistan, England and Uruguay in September. The Black Satellite will be bidding to become the first African country to win the tournament in its 32 year history. The African champions have a mounting task to survive against countries with a well-structured youth football policy.

"England have qualified to represent Europe in the U-20 Championship in Sweden in June and it will be an opportunity to assess their team proper.

Based in Ismailia, Ghana will open their campaign against Uzbekistan on 26 September. Nigeria are paired in Group B against Spain, Tahiti and Venezuela. Cameroon have USA, Germany and Korea Republic in Group C and South Africa face UAE, Honduras and Hungary in Group E. Host Egypt meets Trinidad and Tobbago, Paraguay and Italy in Group C.
