Hosts Ghana were handed a tricky group as they were drawn against giants Cameroon and Mali in Group A.

Ghana's Black Queens, who will based in the capital Accra, will also take on Algeria following the draw for African women's flagship competition on Sunday night.

Title holders Nigeria got what looks like a favorable group as they will play South Africa, Zambia and Kenya in Group B in the coastal city of Cape Coast.

Ouma warned that more local players have moved abroad and gained experience and will be expecting a better performance at the highest stage.

"Two years ago, Kenya lacked exposure and experience in women football. That has since changed and today we have five players plying their trade in European leagues.

They will certainly impact positively to our game and bring in leadership into the squad. I expect to start training on Monday (Oct. 29)," he added.

The Black Queens will play the opening match on Nov. 17 against Algeria. Ghana will play Mali three days later before wrapping up their group campaign against giants Cameroon.

Nigeria's Super Falcons will open their campaign on Nov. 18 in Cape Coast before tackling Zambia at the same venue three days later. Nigeria, eight-time winners, will complete their group phase matches with their clash with Kenya on Nov. 24.

The top two sides in the groups will progress to the semifinals.
