Ghana finds itself in Pot 1 for the upcoming draw of the qualifiers for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.<\/p>\n
This position places them alongside powerhouses like African champions Ivory Coast, Senegal, and Egypt and host nation Morocco.<\/p>\n
The seeding is based on the latest FIFA rankings (June 20, 2024), with 48 qualified teams divided into four pots. The teams will be grouped into four pots of 12.<\/p>\n
The final draw of the qualifiers will consist of 12 groups of 4 teams (Group A to L), where the first and runners-up in the eleven (11) groups that do not include tournament hosts Morocco will qualify for the competition.<\/p>\n
For teams that finish first and second in a group with Morocco, who gain automatic qualification as hosts, the following scenarios will be applied:<\/p>\n
\u2022 If the host is ranked first, the host qualifies in addition to the second of the group.<\/p>\n
\u2022 If the host is ranked second, the host qualifies in addition to the first of the group.<\/p>\n
\u2022 If the host is ranked third or fourth, the host qualifies in addition to the first of the group.<\/p>\n
The draw will be held on July 4, 2024, in Johannesburg, South Africa, determining the Black Stars\u2019 path towards the 2025 AFCON tournament.<\/p>\n
The Black Stars, who have won this competition four times, will be hoping for a favourable draw to secure qualification to Morocco, where they will attempt to end their trophy drought.<\/p>\n
Ghana hasn\u2019t won the trophy since 1982 and has been knocked out in the group stage in the last two editions in Cameroon and Ivory Coast, respectively.<\/p>\n
