The final draw will take place at the breathtaking, brand-new Parc des Expositions venue in Abidjan tonight
The draw will start at 7pm local time and will be live on CAF TV (YouTube).
The final draw will be beamed in over 50 countries, with millions of viewers expected to tune in to the event on CAFs Official YouTube channel, as well as across CAFs Global TV partners.
Ivorian icon Drogba, Cote dIvoires all-time top goal scorer with 65 goals in 105 internationals including the countrys first-ever goal in the FIFA World Cup in 2006 is the popular hometown hero amongst the stellar draw assistants.
Drogba scored 11 goals in 24 AFCON games for the Elephants and helped Cote dIvoire to two AFCON cup finals in 2006 and 2012.
His former Chelsea teammate Mikel, a 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner with Nigeria and also a three-time AFCON bronze medallist with the Super Eagles, is another big name who will grace the occasion.
The irrepressible Sadio Mane, who scored the winning penalty as Senegal won their first Africa Cup of Nations title in Cameroon in 2021, is a revered two-time CAF African Player of the Year who will grace the final draw stage in Abidjan.
Mane is Senegals all-time leading scorer with 38 international goals and has scored eight goals in 18 AFCON games for the Teranga Lions.
Paris Saint Germain right back Hakimi, who was part of the Morocco team that made a historic run to the 2022 FIFA World Cup semi-final, adds North African star quality to the list of Draw Assistants.
Delegations and the coaches from each of the 24 participating nations, CAF legends, international media, CAF commercial partners, showbiz celebrities and African leaders will be in attendance for the much-anticipated Final Draw, which will well and truly kick-start the final stretch to what is shaping up to the best AFCON ever.
