Ghana's 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying opponents have been revealed with the Black Stars facing Zambia, Sudan and the winners of Lesotho or Burundi in Group D.
This followed the draw made in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Saturday as 52 sides from the continent were paired in ten four-team sections.
Brazilian stars Cafu and Neymar assisted in the draw for the African Zone.
The Black Stars, seeded, who enjoyed a memorable last eight place at last year's World Cup after a debut round of 16 finish in 2006 would be attempting a third consecutive appearance when they begin the campaign in the second qualifying round.
The two-leg first round matches will be staged on 11 and 15 November, and the 10 second round groups kick off on 1 June 2012.
The five third-round ties that will decide who picks one of the five qualifying berths to Rio are scheduled for October and November 2013.
In the qualifying process, 203 countries will be part of the 824 qualifiers for the right to claim one of 32 berths at the 2014 World Cup finals.
Brazil will host the competition from 12 June - 13 July 2014.
