Defending champions, Algeria, won the FIFA Arab Cup in Qatar two weeks ago. They are paired in Group E with Sierra Leone, Equatorial Guinea and Cote d’Ivoire.

The Black Stars will open their Group C campaign against Morocco in Yaounde on Monday, January 10, before taking on Gabon and Comorros on January 14 and January 18 respectively.
