Algeria and Sudan have had to wait patiently over the last few days, but will finally get their AFCON campaigns underway on Wednesday.
The Greens will be led by Manchester City cult hero Riyah Mahrez, with the 34-year-old still plying his trade in Saudi Arabia at present.
Other notable names include Ramy Bensebaini of Borussia Dortmund and Rayan At-Nouri of Manchester City.
Sudan secured their spot by virtue of a second-placed finish in Group F, despite winning just two of six games.
Midfielder Sheddy Barglan is the only player to play his football in Europe for the Sudanese national team, currently turning out for Dutch side FC Den Bosch.

Algeria vs Sudan: Preview
Two-time winners Algeria are well tipped to progress from Group E and begin their campaign by facing Sudan.
Boasting plenty of footballing pedigree, manager Vladimir Petkovic has enjoyed a long and illustrious managerial career, coaching in Switzerland, Turkey and Italy in the past.
He's selected 27 players to represent the Desert Warriors, with Mahrez, of course, the most eye-catching inclusion.
The former City man has 34 goals in 107 outings for his nation and is just three games away from becoming the all-time leading appearance maker for his country.
Sudan comes into the tournament as a major underdog, and it would take a miracle for them to progress out of Group E.
Most of their squad plays football either in Sudan or South Sudan, and the nation has been torn by an ongoing civil war since April 2023.
Star striker Mohamed Abdelrahman is now 32, but defender and 36-year-old Ramadan Agab will wear the armband in Morocco.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Algeria 4-0 Sudan
Algeria's squad is far superior to Sudan's, and we anticipate a routine win for the Desert Warriors.
