Morocco have been potted against African giants Cameroon, Guinea and Botswana in Group C in the draw that took place in Zurich on Tuesday.

The Atlas Lions, who are the only Arab representatives left in the qualifiers, will be looking to repeat their successful feat by qualifying to a third successive Olympic Games finals after featuring in Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004.

Group A seems to be the toughest of all, with big guns Ghana, Nigeria and South African drawn together along with minnows Ethiopia.

Ivory Coast, who eliminated Egypt from the preliminaries, will face a difficult task as they take on Senegal, Mali and Zambia in Group B.

The group matches will be played in a round robin format between June 2007 and March 2008.

The winner of each group qualifies directly to the Beijing finals.
