The Confederation of African Football (CAF) have announced Sunday the seeding of the teams that will participate in the AFCON finals as Morocco, Nigeria and Algeria came in the second seed five days before the tournament's draw.

The CAF announced that the 2019 African Cup of Nations will start on 21 June and end on 13 July.

The AFCON teams' seeding:
First seed: Egypt, Ghana, Tunisia, Ivory Coast, Cameroon and Senegal
