After an entertaining start to the tournament, the Pharaohs managed to bag 3 points from their first match when they defeated Mali last Friday. For the Black Meteors, they narrowly escaped defeat as they drew 1-1 with Cameroon at the Cairo International Stadium.

In the second round of matches for Group A, Ghana will be coming up against the host nation later this evening in search of 3 points to enhance the team’s chances of progressing to the next stage of the tournament.
