| Post seedings before the draws proper |
Nigeria was drawn against new comers Burundi, Madagascar and Guinea in
Group B of the forth coming Nations cup in Cairo Egypt on Friday. The
Three time African Champions got what many would easily regard as a fair group
as they successfully avoided the arch rivals, Elephants of Cote d’ Ivoire,
Black Stars of Ghana and Palancas Negras of Angola.
Eagles qualified for the Nations cup picking their ticket with a
match to spare. Nigerian international Odion Ighalo ended the qualifiers
as highest goal scorer and was given a thumbs up at the event that attracted
crème dela crème of the football industry. The opening match will be
between hosts Egypt and Zimbabwe. Defending champions Cameroon will battle it
out with Black Stars of Ghana, Guinea Bissau and Benin Republic.
