Three time Champions, the Super Eagles of Nigeria have been drawn into Group A alongside hosts Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, and Guinea Bissau for the upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The tournament which kicks off from January 13 to February 11, 2024 would take place in Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire.
The competition should have been held this year, but because of the World Cup, which took place at the end of last year, CAF opted to push the tournament to 2023 to prevent players’ burnout.
In the qualifiers, Nigeria secured the top spot in its group with 15 points, showcasing an impressive performance with 22 goals, including a remarkable 16-0 aggregate win against Sao Tome and Principe.
Nigeria, a three-time AFCON winner, will strive to clinch the title once again, having previously triumphed in 1980, 1994, and 2013.
