which will take place in Cairo, Egypt today.
The seeded teams and the four pots for the draw have been defined on the basis of aspecial edition of the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking for African teams dated 7 June, as per the decision of the Emergency Bureau for the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers of 22 June 2016.
The ranking has determined the four pots and the five seeds as follows:
Pot 1: Algeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Senegal, Tunisia
Pot 2: Cape Verde Islands, Egypt, Congo DR, Nigeria, Mali

Nigeria are a wounded animal after their recent failure to qualify for the Afcon (again) and will be desperate to reassert themselves as genuine continental heavyweights.
