Cmr drawn in Group of Death for 2014 African Women's Championship

Cameroon have drawn South Africa, Ghana, and Algeria in the most difficult Group, Group B, for the ninth African Women’s Championship later this year.

Cameroon now face a herculean task of booking of the two qualification slots for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada.


South Africa were runners-up at the 2012 tournament but were beaten 1-0 by Ghana in May in a friendly.


Cameroon won bronze in Equatorial Guinea two years ago by edging Nigeria in the third/fourth playoff.

Group A consists of hosts, Namibia, Zambia, Nigeria and the Ivory Coast.


The draw for the eight-team tournament was held in the Namibian capital Windhoek on Saturday evening.


The tournament will be held from the 11th to 25th October and will serve as a continental qualifier for the 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada.
