And Ghana, who were not seeded despite being defending champions, also have cross border neighbours Togo as well as Senegal to contend with in the group.
Group B contains African champions Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali.
Cote d’Ivoire are hosting this zonal women’s Championship for the second time. It comes off May 8-18, 2019 with Stade Felix Houphouet-Boiney and Robert Champroux will host the 8-nation Championship as match centres.
Ghana’s Black Queens moved to camp on Monday to begin preparations towards their title defense. The team will be using the hostel and training facilities at the Cape Coast Stadium for the next three weeks before heading to Abidjan May 5.
