Nigeria has been pitted in Group C alongside Tunisia, Tanzania, and Uganda to win the AFCON in Morocco.
At the last edition of the continental football competition, the three-time AFCON winners were agonisingly close to adding to their tally.
Nigeria lost 2-1 to hosts Cote d’Ivoire in the final after taking the lead but will have to go one step further and conquer the continent in the Maghreb.
They will go against the Taifa Stars of Tanzania on the 23rd of December at the Fez Stadium in Fes.
Three days later, the Super Eagles will play with the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia, one of their North African rivals.
Nigeria’s last group match will see them square off against the Cranes of Uganda on the 30th of December
The top two teams from the lot will automatically reach the round of 16, while four teams will join them as the best third-placed countries.
