In Group C, Ghana will compete against Senegal, the Central African Republic, and DR Congo.

The new draw took place on Sunday, April 13. Côte d'Ivoire withdrew as the original host for the tournament.

Group A has five teams. Groups B and C each have four teams.

In Group A, Egypt will play Zambia, Sierra Leone, South Africa, and Tanzania. Group B features Nigeria against Tunisia, Kenya, and Morocco.

Ghana qualified for this continental stage by finishing second in last year's WAFU B Qualifiers held in Togo.
