The last edition of the zonal qualification was held in Cape Verde with four out of the nine WAFU A member associations represented. Malian champions AS Mande won the tournament and represented the zone at the final tournament held in Egypt.

Liberia will be represented by champions Determine Girls in the qualifying tournament with the expectation of putting out a better performance in their quest to qualify for the finals. The Liberian champions ended the previous edition in the 3^rd place out of four teams after securing three points from three games.
