According to the draws, the Pool B of the Group has hosts Kenya, Algeria, Namibia, Mozambique and Uganda to determine who faces the winners in the second pool.
Nigeria will fancy their chances against Benin Republic, even though they boast some tough players, in the mould of Alexis Klegou, Felix Hounkpevi and Dadlmas N’tcha, as our crop of players have played against them before in past tournaments.
The Nigerian team is ranked fourth going into this tournament and will be working really hard on emerging as the second team in the pool so as to fight for promotion to World Group II, a situation which has eluded us for many years.
