“We will officially launch the competition on March 23, 2018,” she told TV3

“The Accra Sports Stadium and the Cape Coast Sports Stadium will host the matches; we are also working on the Legon Sports Stadium, and the Achimota Park which will be the training pitches for the teams that will be based in Accra.

“So I can say preparation is going on very well and we can’t wait to get the competition started, she added.

Ghana will be hosting the tournament for the first time since it started in 1998 and will be the 3rd West African country to host after Nigeria and Cameroon.
