The Super Eagles tonight were pitched in 2023 AFCON Group A based in Abidjan against hosts Cote d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea Bissau.
It is a fair draw for three-time African champions Nigeria as they will be expected to reach the knockout rounds of the tournament along with the host nation.
They will open their campaign against Equatorial Guinea, while Cote d’Ivoire take on Guinea Bissau in the opening match of the bi-ennial competition.
The Eagles played the championship game in 1984, when Cote d’Ivoire last hosted this tournament.
The delayed 2023 AFCON will be played from January 13 to February 11, 2024, in five Ivorian cities.
