Hosts Ghana have been drawn to face very familiar foes in the group stage of the 2022 West Africa Football Union (Wafu) Zone-B Under-17 Cup of Nations.

The draw for the seven-team tournament was held in Niger capital Niamey Friday afternoon.

The Black Starlets, seeded in Group A, will face Nigeria and close-border neighbours Togo.

Cote d’Ivoire, the winners of the 202o edition, are the top seeds in Group B. Benin, Burkina Faso and Niger join the baby elephants to complete the group.

Ghana received the nod to host the Wafu-B U-17 Cup of Nations last week.
