The draw, which was conducted on Thursday night in Libreville Gabon, will see all matches of the host team count for the first time in Afcon history.

In this situation, if it happens that Cameroon has finished top of the group, the runner-up will automatically to the final tournament, with no other team eligible to qualify from the group.
