Defending champions South Africa will face Nigeria, while Egypt will also lock horns against Kenya in the other semi-final game.

In other news, Ghana's female hockey team has qualified for the semi-final of the tournament after thrashing Zambia 4-0.

The male team's elimination, though, comes just days after the national football team also got booted out of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon.

The Black Stars endured a poor run in the tournament in Cameroon following a disappointing 3-2 defeat to Comoros on Tuesday.

The result saw Ghana finish at the bottom of Group C after failing to win any of their three group matches.
