The Queens touched down in the capital Malabo on Wednesday and received a massive support from the Ghana High Commission and from the Ghanaian community.
The Black Queens, clad in their Puma apparel, were also met on arrival by government officials of Equatorial Guinea.
After going through the accreditation process, the team quickly moved for the first training session where they were cheered on by Ghanaian fans.
Coaches Mumuni Gamel and Ben Forkuo put the team through a light training to shake off fatigue after three hours of travelling.
Skipper Adjoa Bayor who has played in all the six editions of the top flight continental tournament was thrilled by the support they received from Ghanaians in Equatorial Guinea.

"The end to the Nigerian dominance is now."
