The Black Starlets find themselves in the same group with Cote d'Ivoire and Benin following the draw which was done in the early hours of Friday, April 19, in Abidjan.

Defending champions of the tournament, Nigeria, however, find themselves in Group B.
The Golden Eaglets lead the charge in Group B alongside Burkina Faso, Niger, and Togo.
This year's competition will be staged in Accra with the kickoff date scheduled for May 15.
The 2024 WAFU B U-17 AFCON qualifiers will be played through to May 28.
