Moreto Cassamá, who plays for French outfit Reims, has also been included in the squad that was unveiled over the weekend in Bissau.

Star player and captain Jose 'Zezinho' Lopes headlines the list after guiding the small West African nation to their second successive tournament following their historic debut qualification in 2017.

Midfielder Francisco Santos Junior has not been picked after being overlooked for the last two qualifiers against Namibia and Mozambique.

Baciro Cande and his charges will be hoping to reach the knockout phase after they failed to make it out of their group in their last participation.
