These 6 conducted the draws....
Emmanuel Eboue, Asamoah Gyan, Alex Song, Jay Jay Okocha, Emmanuel Adebayor and El-Hadji Diouf.

POT PROCEDURES
The 54 competing nations are allocated to 6 pots of 9 teams each. The 9 highest-ranked team based on their FIFA/Coca-Cola ranking as at June 29, 2023 will be in Pot 1.

Teams in Pot 1 are in the order: Morocco (13), Senegal (18), Tunisia (31), Algeria (33), Egypt (34), Nigeria (39), Cameroon (43), Mali (50) and Cote D'Ivoire (51).

The next ranked teams go into Pot 2 and so on until Pot 6.

DRAW PROCEDURES
All teams are drawn first from Pot 6 with each filling Groups A - I. One pot must be emptied before moving on to the next Pot which is Pot 5, then Pot 4 and so on.

Positions in the Group will be determined by their Pot Number. What this means is that in whatever Group Nigeria falls into, it will be Position 1 (since it was drawn from Pot 1).

Nigeria should not use a local coach to prosecute the qualifier I done talk my own. NFF please don't bow to Nigerians pressure

Olympic twice in a row we never go
Worldcup we missed out
Nations cup 3 times in a row we miss out
Car champions league group stages we no even dey see again. NFF be warn no local coach should be appointed for d qualifier until we had qualified. A word is enough for the wise

Why dem dey do south Africa like this now 9 teams still no hope


But Nigeria should not underage south Africans those guys sabi play us wella


Benin come still dey our group Genort rohr and his Nigerian assistant Manager

During the last world cup when our super eagles didn't qualify,at least we didn't have HBP fr watching their useless style of playing......

Mtcheew

If super eagles like make Dem go fvck up again walahi talai Dem go collect for area...na coz we no dey treat dem fvck up dey make dem misbehave

This is another chance for Nigeria to qualify but can nepotism, tribalism, corruption and owing of salaries allow us to get better?

Hmmm

What of the ones they've been using Foreign coaches.

4 out of the 5 teams that represented Africa at the last world cup used indigenous coaches.

We should qualify from this group but not certain
