Ghana have been handed a decent draw for the 2017 African Nations Cup qualifiers after the groupings were done in Cairo on Wednesday.
The Black Stars have been drawn with Mozambique, Rwanda, and Mauritius and the qualifiers begin in June.
The group winners and two best second placed teams join hosts Gabon - whose right was confirmed shortly before this draw - for finals which start in January 2017.
Ghana will look to go one step better than in February, where they agonisingly lost on penalties to the Ivory Coast.
