The draw, held on Wednesday morning at the CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt, saw the eight qualified teams drawn into two groups of four.

The Black Sharks were handed a challenging test in the group stages of the tournament after being drawn alongside hosts Senegal, Mozambique, and Uganda in Group A.
