The Nigeria U20s head Group B along with Tunisia, Kenya and Morocco.
They will play their opening match on April 28 against Tunisia.
Interestingly, the Flying Eagles beat Tunisia to finish third at the 2023 U20 AFCON also staged in Egypt.
Hosts Egypt head Group A, which has South Africa, Sierra Leone, Zambia and Tanzania, while defending champions Senegal are the top seeds in Group C and are pitched against Central African Republic, DR Congo and Ghana in what now looks like the new ‘Group of Death’.
The opening match will be Egypt up against South Africa on April 27.
