AFCON 2021: Ghana draws Morocco, Comoros and Gabon in Group C

The draw for the continental showpiece took place in Yaounde this evening, Tuesday, August 17, 2021.

The 24 qualified teams were allocated to four pots of six teams each, based on August’s FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking.

Ghana was placed in Pot 2 ahead of the draw alongside the likes of Egypt, the Ivory Coast, Mali, Burkina Faso and Guinea.

Pot 1 also had hosts Cameroon, defending champions Algeria, 2019 finalists Senegal, Nigeria and Morocco.

The Black Stars avoided the group of death but will have to navigate their way past Morocco, Comoros and Gabon.
