OCT 20, 2016 LISTEN

Emmanuel Agyemang Badu has indicated that Ghana have been drawn in an interesting group as they meet regular foes

The Black Stars have been drawn in group D of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) alongside Egypt, Uganda and Mali.

Uganda and Egypt are Ghana's 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying group opponents, with the four times champions of Africa having already been held to a goalless draw at home and will be playing Egypt in October in Alexandria in their bid to turn things around in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Agyemang Badu believes the group is an interesting one, but Ghana have what it takes to progress from the group.

'The group is very interesting because we will be playing against the same countries we have paired with in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers and when CAF also brought their draw we have been grouped with Uganda and Egypt in the same group for the African Cup of Nations qualifiers.

'However, we are not going to concentrate on the qualifiers, because we have World Cup qualifiers against Egypt next month. It is going to be tough but we have the quality to excel in the group,'
