AFCON 2025 draw LIVE: Nigeria and Ivory Coast learn group-stage opponents with hosts Morocco in Pot 1 AFCON 2025 - LIVE.
Defending champions Ivory Coast join them, after their eventful run to victory on home soil last year, with Nigeria, Senegal and Egypt among the other nations who will go into the tournament firmly believing they can win.
Ghana have failed to qualify for the tournament for the first time since 2004, after failing to win a single qualifying match, with Cape Verde and Guinea, both beaten in the last-eight a year ago, also not involved.
Morocco are automatically in Pot 1 as hosts, as they look to be crowned AFCON champions for the first time since 1976.
Less than a year now until the tournament kicks off in Morocco, and this evening the 24 teams involved will learn their group-stage opponents.
