Ghana will discover its group opponents for the 2026 Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations following the release of the draw procedures by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
According to CAF, the official draw for the final tournament will take place on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, at 16:00 Cairo time at its headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.
Ghana is among the eight teams that have qualified for the tournament, alongside Angola, Malawi, Mauritania, Morocco, Mozambique, Senegal and Uganda.
According to the draw procedures, hosts and defending champions Senegal will automatically be placed in position A1 in Group A, while runners-up of the 2024 edition, Mauritania, will occupy position B1 in Group B.
The remaining six teams have been divided into three pots based on CAF’s rankings from the last three editions of the competition. Pot 1 comprises Morocco and Mozambique, while Pot 2 consists of Malawi and Uganda. Ghana and Angola have been placed in Pot 3.
CAF explained that the draw will begin with Pot 3, followed by Pot 2 and Pot 1. The first team drawn from Pot 3 will be placed in Group A in position A4, while the second team will be assigned to Group B in position B4. The same procedure will be followed for Pots 2 and 1.
The Black Sharks secured qualification for the 2026 edition after defeating arch-rivals Nigeria 10-7 on aggregate. The two-legged encounter ended in a 3-3 draw in Nigeria before Ghana recorded a 7-4 victory in the return leg in Keta.
Ghana last participated in the competition in 2024 and have since been working towards a return to the continental stage.
