The Eagles will also have to battle against either Sao Tome & Principe or Mauritius in their quest to make it to AFCON 2023.
While Group A looks winnable for Nigeria, recent results have shown that the gap between the minnows and the big footballing nation in Africa is reducing as seemingly small teams now surprise the bigger teams once the opportunity comes.
The last time Nigeria failed to qualify for the AFCON tournament was in 2017 having also failed to qualify for the 2015 edition.
The qualification matches for AFCON 2023 will begin May 30th, 2022 barely one year before the kickoff of the tournament proper in Cote d'Ivoire
