Cameroon and Namibia were the last teams to book their tickets to Ivory Coast on Tuesday night to seal the 24-team line-up for the winter tournament.

It all kicks off on January 13, 2024, meaning Premier League players called up will be absent from domestic duty for as long as a month, with the final scheduled for February 11.
