Stade Robert Champroux.
Mukarama Abdulai, who won the ‘Golden Boot’ after finishing top scorer during the 2018 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, will be part of the first 11. She also collected the Adidas Bronze Ball (third best player) World Cup in Uruguay last year.

Coach Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo, impressed with the performance of the duo, has agreed to start them in the Togo versus Ghana game.
Speaking to a member of the Black Queens media officers, Ayishatu Zakaria Al, Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo revealed that “I have made few changes in the set I started with on Wednesday. I wanted everybody to play because they are capable.I want to maintain a winning team so as and when the need arises I will make my changes.”
“I have made two changes in attack. I am bringing in Mukarama for Jane Anyieyam and Grace Animah for Alice Kusi,” she added.
