Grace Asantewaa and Jennifer Cudjoe will hold the midfield, with Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah operating as the creative outlet in the No. 10 role.

The match carries additional significance beyond the Group D standings.

Ghana and Cameroon are among the rare African nations to have reached the WAFCON final at least three times without claiming the title, lending this encounter an extra layer of history.

A victory for either side on Sunday would place them in a strong position to advance to the knockout rounds, making this one of the defining fixtures of the group stage.

Black Queens cautioned ahead of Cameroon test

With early qualification within reach, CAF Licence 'A' coach Prince George Koffie warned the Black Queens against taking Cameroon lightly in an interview with YEN.com.gh.

"First of all, they did a good job by grabbing all three points against Cape Verde, but Cameroon presents a different proposition. Since the head-to-head meetings favour Ghana, I expect the Black Queens to be vigilant and guard against complacency.

"The Cameroonians will be physical and will try to get under the skin of the team to unsettle them. Again, the Indomitable Lionesses should not be underestimated.
