The Zebras and Ivory Coast are the only sides to have booked their place in CAF's flagship competition. Equatorial Guinea and Gabon qualify as co-hosts, leaving 12 slots still up for grabs. The finals will be played from January 21 to February 12, 2012.

Stanley Tshosane's charges will be making a maiden appearance at the continental showpiece with reported training camps scheduled for Brazil and West Africa. Tshosane said the draw, coming just three months before the finals, will not disadvantage his team.
