Ghana already secured their place at next year’s continental tournament as hosts, with the competition set to kick off in February 2027.
The Black Satellites finished third in Group B behind eventual champions Burkina Faso and Nigeria.
Burkina Faso, meanwhile, secured the zone’s other qualification ticket after beating Nigeria 4-1 in the final.
