Black Stars given bye to final round of 2013 qualifiers
Ghana is given an automatic bye from the first two
rounds of the qualifying for the 2013 African
Nations Cup following Saturday's draw in Malabo.

Forty-six teams will be involved in the qualifying
rounds as hosts, South Africa qualify directly to
the finals.

The Black Stars and fifteen other nations that
have qualified to the 2012 finals will join the
qualifying campaign in the final round. The final
round will be played in September and October
2012.

According to Caf, the 16 teams that qualified to
the 2012 CAN and the 14 teams that qualified from
Preliminary round 2 will meet in first and second
leg formula to qualify 15 countries for the
tournament.

From 2013, the final will be played in odd years
to avoid clashing with the World Cup with the 2012
Nations Cup being the last tournament to be played
in an even year
