The draw for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast has placed the Black Stars of Ghana in Group B where they will begin their campaign against  Cape Verde.

The draw ceremony occurred at the Parc Des Expositions venue in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, on October 12, 2023.

In Group B, Ghana will face stiff competition from record-winners Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique.

The Black Stars will commence their AFCON campaign against Cape Verde at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in Abidjan on January 14, 2024.

Their second group match will be against the seven-time champions of the tournament, Egypt, also at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in the Ivorian capital on January 18, 2024.

The last group match, which will take place simultaneously with another group fixture, will see Ghana facing Mozambique at the Stade Alassane Ouattara in Abidjan four days later.

Ghana's national team, the Black Stars, will need to be in peak physical and mental form to navigate this challenging group and advance to the knockout stages.

The Black Stars are on a quest to secure their fifth continental title and end the country's 41-year Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) trophy drought.

The 34th edition of the tournament, hosted by Ivory Coast for the second time, will take place from January 13 to February 11, 2024.
