Coach Jose Peseiro’s side, who played out to a 2-2 draw with the Falcons of Saudi Arabia in an international friendly clash on Friday, have been drawn against hosts Cote D’Ivoire, Guinea Bissau and Equatorial Guinea in Group A phase of the continental soccer showpiece.
The draw was conducted on Thursday night in Abidjan.

She urged all Nigerians to rally round the national team in their quest to win the continental title for the fourth time.
“The African Cup of Nations is exactly 90 days from today, I personally will be following and cheering the team to victory because I believe we have what it takes to bring the trophy home, and I hope you too will be supporting.
“Our beloved super Eagles can’t do it without your support.
“We have done it before, so let’s do it again. Thank you NFF for making me a part of the campaign, it’s an honour,” she said.
