The Mohamed V National Theatre in Rabat, Casablanca, will host the eagerly awaited draw ceremony for the 35th Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals on Monday night, January 27.
Three-time African champions Nigeria’s Super Eagles have been assigned to Pot 1. In order to prevent formidable teams like Morocco, Senegal, Egypt, Algeria, and Cote d’Ivoire, they will be positioned strategically.
The Super Eagles will be represented during the ceremony in Morocco’s administrative capital by Head Coach Éric Sékou Chelle, Team Administrator Dayo Enebi Achor, and Chairman of the NFF Technical and Development Committee Alhaji Sharif Rabiu Inuwa.
This competition, which runs from December 21 to January 18, is unique in that it is the first AFCON to continue from one year to the next. Morocco, which previously hosted the tournament in 1988 when Cameroon won, is scheduled to host it again. Due to worries about the Ebola outbreak, the country that had previously been granted hosting rights for the 2015 finals withdrew.
