Runners-up in the last competition, Black Stars are among the top seeds alongside reigning champions Ivory Coast, Algeria and host Gabon in Pot 1
Ghana would draw one of Tunisia, Mali, Burkina Faso or Congo DR from Pot 2.
Pot 3 has some of the most in-form teams on the continent with Ghana’s World Cup qualifiers group opponents Egypt, Morocco, Senegal and Cameroon.
Pot 4 includes neighbours Togo, debutants Guinea-Bissau, Uganda who are making a return to the competition after a 38-year absence and Zimbabwe.
The distribution of teams in the pots means we could be served some interesting games at the competition.
