The Nigerian home based national team will tango their Ivorian counterparts in the first round of the African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2014 to be held in South Africa.

It’s a two legged affair with the 1st leg holding in Nigeria June next year.

The Confederation of African Football conducted the draw for the qualifiers at  CAF Headquarters today  in Cairo led by Secretary General, Hicham El Amrani and included the fixtures for the preliminaries, first and second round matches from which 15 teams will emerge to join hosts South Africa for the finals. 

The qualifiers are played on regional basis with the composition of the finalists as follows : two from North Zone, two from West A Zone, three from West B Zone, three from Central Zone, three from Central East and three from South Zone (including hosts South Africa)

The seeding system used for the draw took into consideration amongst other criteria the teams’ performances from the last two editions of CHAN finals rankings.
