Black Meteors of Ghana coach Ibrahim Tanko will attend the draw for the Total U-23 Africa Cup of Nations scheduled for October 2 in Egypt.

Tanko is expected to fly out of the country on Tuesday, October 1 ahead of the draw despite reports that he's been sacked by Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah.

The 42-year-old will find out the countries his side will face on Wednesday as the event is set to take place at the iconic 19th-century palace, built on a high hill and overlooking the beautiful beaches of Alexandria.

The time for the draw is 17H00 local time (15H00 GMT).

Ghana qualified for this year’s championship after beating the Fennec Foxes of Algeria 2-1 on aggregate in the final qualifying round.

Ghana will join hosts Egypt, South Africa, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Mali, Nigeria and Zambia for this year's competition.

The three top teams in the tournament will automatically qualify to represent the continent at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
