Ghana will not play the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations group stage.
The same pot has been given to the two opponents for the next group stage draw in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
Plot 3 includes Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Mali, Burkina Faso, and the DR of the Congo. This implies that these nations will not be included in the group of Black Stars.
This implies that every country, with the exception of those in Pot 2, will be grouped with Ghana, Nigeria, and every other country.
Ivory Coast, Morocco, the 2022 World Cup semi-finalist Senegal, the 2021 AFCON champions, Tunisia, Algeria, and Egypt are among the nations in Pot 1.
South Africa, Cape Verde, Guinea, Zambia, Equatorial Guinea, and Mauritania are the countries in Pot 3, and Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Namibia, Angola, Gambia, and Tanzania are the countries in Pot 4.
Nigeria prevailed 1-0 over Ghana in the 2006 AFCON group stage draw. Nigeria won the group, and Ghana placed third and was not allowed to advance.
Nigeria has now defeated Ghana for the last time in their six meetings, with the latter having won three of them. Three more games resulted in draws.
Ghana has won 25 of the 56 meetings between the two in all competitions, Nigeria has won 12, and 19 games have ended in draws.
