"But when it comes to tournament you have to take it match after match but I'm very sure the girls can do something."

The tournament will begin on November 17th and end on December 1.

Ghana has never won the competition before but were close on three occasions losing in the finals to Nigeria.

The final three teams of the competition qualify for the World Cup in France next year.
