The first edition was played in 2018 with eight teams, which included some foreign-based players.[1]

Eight teams were drawn in two groups of four. WAFU Zone B member teams were Ivory Coast, Niger, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Nigeria and Benin. Mali (from Zone A) replaced Benin, who had withdrawn shortly before the tournament, and Senegal (from Zone A) were invited to make the numbers up to eight.[2] The tournament was won by Ghana.[3]
