Abuja – Nigeria’s Supersand
Eagles will face hosts Seychelles, Egypt and Cote d’Ivoire in Group A of the
2015 African Beach Soccer Championship from April 14 to April 19.
At the Draw Ceremony inside the CAF
headquarters in Cairo, Egypt on Sunday, Ghana, Morocco, Senegal and Madagascar
will play in Group B.
It means that Nigeria will play the
host nation in the opening match of the tournament.
The team will be facing Cote
d’Ivoire who have improved tremendously over the years, and Egypt who qualified
after a 16-6 aggregate hammering of Tanzania in the only qualifying round.
The Ivorians had on their part
turned back Mauritius 18-6 on aggregate.
Supersand Eagles finished third at
the recent Power Horse Invitational Tournament in Durban last month, beating
Ghana and South Africa but losing to Senegal.
They then reached the African
championship finals after Libya withdrew from the race.
Ghana reached the finals with a 22-8
aggregate trouncing of Uganda, while Morocco beat Djibouti 16-1 in an only leg
played in Casablanca.
Madagascar steam-rolled South Africa
9-3 in two matches in Durban, and Senegal sailed into the finals after Mali
withdrew.
The Nigerian team is presently at a
