Nigeria U23 will face Sweden, Colombia and Japan in
Group B of the preliminary round of the 2016 Olympics
men's football event.
The draw ceremony took place Thursday afternoon at the
Estadio Maracana’s auditorium. The audience at the
auditorium included some esteemed figures, with
representatives from all 28 delegations in attendance, as
were Dunga and Oswaldo Alvarez, the respective
coaches of Brazil’s men’s and women’s teams.
Brazil were zoned in Group A against Iraq, Denmark, and
South Africa.
Algeria were landed in a veritable 'Group of Death' where
they will be facing Honduras, Portugal and Argentina in
Group D.
Defending champions Mexico were handed a tricky pool
in the draw, having been bracketed with Korea Republic,
Fiji and Germany.
Game faces! No groups of death but plenty to
think about for Olympic
