The eight-time African champions will go up against their French counterparts at the Stade MMArena in the city of Le Mans in France on April 6 at 9 pm.

Dennerby, whose entirely home-based professionals took third-place at the WAFU Women’s Cup of Nations in Abidjan in February, has included on the list some foreign-based players.
