with sponsors. We are currently locked in negotiations with potential

sponsors and a deal should be reached within the next few days. "The tournament will surely come on, but we have to sort out

organizational issues before settling on a new date. "Two weeks from now, we hope to come out with a clear picture of

the tournament." Malan added that the venue of the tourney however still remains

unchanged. Ghana's Black Queens are paired in Group B alongside Sierra Leone,
