The draw for the biennial competition was conducted at the headquarters of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Thursday.

Ghana are drawn in Group A with hosts Côte d’Ivoire, DR Congo, Tanzania, and a yet-to-be-determined team from the UNIFFAC region.

The Flying Eagles are placed in a difficult group with Egypt, Morocco, and South Africa.

The Black Satellites lost 2-1 to Nigeria in the final of the WAFU B U-20 Championship in Togo last year.

“We’re happy that we’re not in Group B because that’s a very interesting group,” Ofei told Joy Prime Sports.

“I feel like we’re in a position where we can control the narrative of this tournament from our perspective.”
