He said, “The federation expectation is to get a World Cup ticket which is very ambitious considering our stage of development. We have been camped for nearly two months and we believe the team will give a good show”.

Nigeria plays in a very tough Group B alongside with giants like Egypt, Angola, DR Congo and Morocco. The first four teams in the group qualify for the quarter-finals.

Other teams in the championships are Tunisia, Algeria, Cameroon, Gabon and Congo.

The Africa Championship is a perquisite for the 2019 IHF World Men’s Handball Championship, to be held in Denmark and Germany in 2019.
