The draw for qualification for the next African Cup of Nations has seen Ghana drawn in a comfortable looking group consisting of Mauritius, Mozambique, and Rwanda.
The draw was held by the CAF executive committee, who earlier had granted hosting rights for the tournament to Gabon.
Gabon would partake in the qualifiers, but their results would not count in the final reckoning as they automatically qualify as hosts.
The qualifying games begin in June this year, ahead of the tournament in January 2017. The group winners from all thirteen groups would make the tournament, to be joined by two best second placed teams and the hosts.
