The Indomitable Lions were pitted in Group C alongside defending champions Senegal, Guinea and Gambia following the draw on Thursday night.

"I wouldn't really call it the group of death because when you look at all the groups, they are all tough but of course people will be looking at Senegal and Cameroon.
"As a former player with lots of experience, when you go to this kind of competition, the key is the first match," Geremi said, as per the CAF website.
"For us Cameroon, our first match is against Gambia so the manager should be working on that, then we move on to the next match. This is something I am saying on experience. So Rigobert Song should start working on the game against Gambia."
Senegal captain Sadio Mane, meanwhile, is well aware of the task facing the defending champions next year.
"It's a really difficult group," Mane said after the draw.
"Cameroon is going to be really tough but we will give our best to go through from the first round."
