Ghana have been handed a tough draw for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations including two World Cup qualifying opponents Uganda and Egypt in Group D.
West African rivals and recent tournament nemesis Mali are also the last team in the pool.
The Black Stars played the Cranes at the Tamale Sports early this month in the qualifiers to Russia and failed to meet expectations in a dull 0-0 draw.
Uganda qualified for the tournament for the first time in 32 years and have a good coach Milutin Sredojevic who can cause havoc.
Ghana will play Pharaohs next month in the second World Cup qualifier ahead of the tournament.
Defending champions Ivory Coast have DR Congo, Morocco and Togo in Group C with hosts Gabon paired with Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Guinea Bissau.
In Group B, top seed Algeria face Tunisa, Senegal and Zimbabwe.
The 2017 Africa Cup of Nations will run from 15 January to 05 February.
Group A: Gabon, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Guinea Bissau
Group B: Algeria, Tunisia, Senegal, Zimbabwe
Group C: Ivory coast, DRC, Morocco, Togo
Group D: Ghana, Mali, Egypt and Uganda

wish Ghana team all the best in the 2017 AFCON.
The only way for Ghana to qualify for the world cup. Is to win 2017 AFCON Takyi Emmanuel
Ghana Blackstars will bring the cup home,no matter how though it is with Almighty God is in our side we will overcome them.
Care must be taken before Ghanaians come home with another disgrace. God help us.
I know we are going to make it to the finals..we will sink Egyptians in the red sea like how moses did...
I wish the Ghana Team the best but with current crop of players I doubt our qualification to both the world cup and from the group stage of the AFCON
Even though the group is very tough I hope Ghana will pass through without any difficulty by the Grace of Almighty God
though it's tough but Ghana black stars will surely triumph over them
even though the group is a difficult one yet Ghana can excel.let pray.
In fact it's going to be hard for the Black Stars with their current form.
