Ghana, however, have been housed in Pot 2 alongside Nigeria, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mali and Burkina Faso.

The Black Stars could face Ivory Coast, defending champions Senegal, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria or Morocco in the group stage.

In a group of six named A to F, all 24 teams will be split with each group consisting of four countries, one each from the various pots at the final draw.
