The Black Stars would know all about their possible opponents for the 2017 Cup of African nations when the draw is held later today (Wednesday).
Gabon are hosting next year’s tournament, set to run from 14 January to 5 February 2017. Ghana, runners-up at the last edition, are in the top seed of the draw alongside Champions Cote d’Ivoire, hosts Gabon and the continent’s top ranked Fifa side Algeria.
Gabon and Cote d’Ivoire have already been settled in Groups A and C respectively, with Ghana and Algeria to take up shop in Groups B and D, to be determined during the draw.
