The Black Starlets will face Ivory Coast in the final qualifying round to the 2017 African Junior Championships.

Ghana's U17 survived a scare to eliminate Burkina Faso 6-5 on aggregate after a 4-1 second leg defeat in Ouagadougou on Saturday.

The Black Starlets were clinical in the first leg where they won 5-1 and that saved them.

Ivory Coast beat Benin 3-1 at home on Saturday to advance 4-2 on aggregate.

The first leg will be played in Cape Coast on the weekend of 16-18 September and the return encounter between 30 September and 02 October.

Ghana were banned from playing at the last tournament for fielding an over-aged player.

The 2017 African Junior Championship will be played in Madagascar from 02-16 April.
