Nigeria will play in Group A with Senegal, Morocco and Djibouti in the first round of next month’s Africa Minifootball Nations Cup.

The draw ceremony which took place at the Ilaji Hotels, Ibadan, Nigeria on Wednesday evening was attended by several presidents of African Minifootball Associations as well as the Oyo state Deputy Governor, Rauf Olaniyan and African football legends.

In Group B, Burkina Faso will face Benin Republic, South Africa and Tunisia, while defending champions, Ivory Coast will lock horns with Egypt, Somalia and Ghana in Group C.

The 2018 hosts Libya, Gabon, Zambia and Algeria complete the teams in Group D.
