The Confederation of African Football has concluded that the portion of the 48 countries into four pots of 12 is not set in stone by the latest FIFA rankings as opposed to a rating of earlier Cup of Nations results.
Groups from Pot Four will be attracted first Tuesday's draw, which will happen at the SuperSport studios in Johannesburg and will incorporate previous Bafana chief Lucas Radebe as one of the draw partners.
The main country picked is doled out to Group A, the second to Group B, the third to Group C, etc.
Before the draw is done, the indistinguishable strategy will be performed with Pots Three, Two, and One.
Except for the gathering wherein the hosts, Ivory Coast will contend, the main two groups in each gathering advance to the last.
They have a programmed spot in the competition arrangement, yet they should partake in the capabilities, and just a single group from their gathering will progress to the finals, which will be held in June of the following year.
