With Cameroon pulling out, and the format of the tournament changing, Ghana is expected to play Rwanda, Sierra Leone, The Gambia, and Nigeria in that order in a single round robin, to determine the first 2 for finals and 3rd and 4th for third place.

The Team departs from the country on March 26 at 7:45am.
