Ghana has been handed a tricky draw for the upcoming FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup following the draw on Friday, May 15.
The Black Princesses have been drawn in Group C, where they will come up against France, South Korea and Ecuador when they take to the tournament.
The draw for the tournament took place at the EC1 Cultural Center in Łódź, which is also one of the host cities for the global tournament.
Ghana was represented at the draw by head coach Charles Sampson and General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association, Prosper Harrison Addo.
