African Cup of Nations 2015 draws


The draws for the 2015 African Cup of Nations which was held today in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea is out.
Equatorial Guinea replaced Morocco as host at short notice after Morocco requested a postponement of the championship as a result of the West African Ebola outbreak.

The tournament starts on the 17th of January and ends on the 8th of February, 2015 with the host nation Equatorial Guinea playing Republic of Congo in the opening games.

Below are the groups:

Group A: Equatorial Guinea, Congo, Gabon, Burkina Faso
Group B: Zambia, DR Congo, Cape Verde, Tunisia
Group C: Ghana, Senegal, South Africa, Algeria
Group D: Ivory Coast, Guinea, Cameroon, Mali 

Group C will surely be the hardest of the four. It brings together two former World Cup quarterfinalists in Ghana and Senegal, top-ranked African side Algeria and former Cup of Nations winner South Africa.
