Ghana are among the top seeds for this month’s draw of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Black Stars are joined by reigning champions Zambia, hosts South Africa and Ivory Coast as the top seeds though the Ivorians had their final game with Senegal abandoned.


The Ivorians were 6-2 up on aggregate when Saturday’s game in Dakar was called off because of crowd troubles.
