Hosts Senegal will top Group A, while Egypt will headline Group B.

This means that the other six finalists – Nigeria, Algeria, Mali, Zambia, Tunisia and South Africa – could be drawn in either group. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the semi-finals.

The top three teams will automatically qualify for the Rio Olympics while the fourth best team will playoff for a ticket to the global competition.

The Africa U23 Cup of Nations will be staged in November.
