Meanwhile, Jose Peseiro’s Super Eagles are chasing a fourth crown and will open their group stage campaign against Equatorial Guinea on January 14, 2024 at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Abidjan before facing Cote d’Ivoire and Guinea Bissau on January 18 and January 22 respectively.

Guinea-Bissau, who were in the same qualifying group as Nigeria, defeated the Super Eagles in Abuja and will be keen to have a repeat of that at the finals in Cote d’Ivoire next year.

The 2023 AFCON is the third edition that will be played in its expanded 24-team format, meaning that up to three teams can advance from a group although the top two sides are the only automatic choices. Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Cote d’Ivoire are the favourites in Group A.

The 2023 AFCON will be the 34th edition of the tournament since its founding in 1957.

44 Different African Nations have now participated at the AFCON. Comoros and The Gambia were debutants at the last edition in Cameroon but there are no new comers in the Cote d’ Ivoire.

The competition’s trophy match will be decided on February 11, 2024 at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium, Abidjan.
