The draw will be held in Cairo immediately after the announcement of
the host nation for the tournament.
For the first time the host country will participate in the
qualifying stages for the AFCON. However, the matches concerned will not count
for any points in their group, and will instead be classified as friendlies.
Fifty two teams will be divided into 13 groups of four teams
each. A four-tiered seeding system will see one team from each tier allocated
per group.
The top team in each group will qualify for the tournament
finals, as well as the best two runners-up – excluding the group involving the
host country, from which only one team will qualify.
The
draw will be held in Cairo immediately after the announcement of the
host nation for the tournament. - See more at:
