The Nzalang Nacional compete in the same group as the three-time African champions.

Micha’s side will face the Super Eagles in their first encounter on Sunday at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Ebimpe.

The West Africans will compete against hosts Cote d’Ivoire and Guinea-Bissau in the same group.

Micha believes the Super Eagles, with Senegal, Morocco, and Egypt, are the teams to beat in the competition.

“I believe it is tough to anticipate because there are Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria, Senegal, the past champion, Egypt, and Morocco. So I will not guess who will win the championship, but we must wait,” he told Micha.
