The Black Queens will travel to Mauritius for the first leg on Thursday, October 8, 2026, before hosting their opponents in the return leg on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, in Ghana.

Mauritius secured their place in the second round after eliminating Djibouti 3-1 on aggregate in the preliminary round.

These qualifiers give them a fresh opportunity to turn the page and secure a spot at LA 2028.
