The Black
Stars of Ghana was handed a tricky 2019 Africa Cup of Nations draw after being
paired with defending champions Cameroon in Group F.
The Black Stars will also play Benin and Guinea
Bissau who are the other countries in the Group.

2017 Africa Cup of Nations, where Ghana lost 2-0 to the Indomitable Lions in
the semifinals.
The Black Stars have not won an AFCON title
since 1982 and now they have to negotiate a tricky group before dreaming of
reaching the final of the competition.
Host Egypt has been given a relatively easy
group after being paired with DR Congo, Uganda and Zimbabwe in Group A.
Nigeria, one of the favourites to win the
tournament will play Guinea, Madagascar and Burundi in Group B.
The tournament will start from June 21 to July
19.
