The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been drawn to face Egypt, Sudan, and Guinea Bissau in the group stage of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations billed to be staged in Cameroon.
In the draws conducted on Tuesday in Yaounde, Cameroon capital, three-time champions Nigeria were housed in Group D alongside the three potential tricky opponents.
The Super Eagles will be starting out their campaign against the Pharaohs before going on to face Sudan and Guinea Bissau.
Egypt are the most successful country in the history of the Africa Cup of Nations with seven AFCON titles in their kitty.
However, despite the great success, Nigeria has the upper hand in terms of the head-to-head record in past games against the North Africans at previous AFCON tournaments
In the 10 AFCON meetings between Nigeria and Egypt, the North Africans have just three wins while the Eagles have four and the remaining games ended in draws.
The AFCON tournament is scheduled to take place from January 9 to February 6 2022.
