The tournament kicked off Tuesday, January 5, 2021 in Kegue, Togo.
The Starlets will not play a part in the first round of games as a result of the number of teams in Group B (3). Ghana are paired in Group B with rivals Nigeria and neighbours Cote D’Ivoire.
The top two teams from this tournament will qualify for the 2021 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations in Morocco.
