The unseeded countries are Botswana, Cape Verde Islands, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Liberia, Libya, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo, Uganda and Zimbabwe.

Seven-time champions Egypt will be surprise absentees when the draw is made after they were knocked out by Central Africa Republic and will consequently miss the Africa Cup for a second successive edition.

Besides the pairing of teams, there will be a separate draw to decide which one has home advantage first in the final round scheduled for the weekends of September 7-9 and October 12-14 this year.
