Nigeria will return to the Africa Nations Cup final tournament with the first match against Burkina Faso after the Super Eagles were drawn in Group C alongside defending champions Zambia, Burkina Faso and Ethiopia. The draw ceremony was held Wednesday night in Durban, South Africa ahead of the 2013 event.
Eagles captain Joseph Yobo told MTNFootball.com, “It’s a fair draw; Zambia, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia? Well that’s not bad. But I’m not saying it’s going to be easy because football in Africa has vastly improved. No team is a minnow anymore, but looking at the group on paper, I want to say it’s a fair one.”
We hope the Nigerian team can make something good out of these group. Don’t want to sound biased though, but i believe Nigeria has already qualified to the next round
Groups in full:
Group A: South Africa, Angola, Morocco, Cape Verde
Group B: Ghana, Mali, Niger, DR Congo
Group C: Zambia, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia
