The competition, which will be hosted by Cameroon, has been scheduled to take place in January. However, it looks unlikely as qualifiers are far from done. There are four rounds of games to be played.

The Black Stars won their first two games against South Africa and Sao Tome and Principe. By virtue of that, they sit comfortably at the top of their qualifying group.

There were supposed to be in action in March for a double-header against Sudan but games were suspended.

Head coach Charles Akonnor will be very much interested in today’s meeting as it will determine when he sits in the dugout for the first time since his appointment as Black Stars coach in January.
