Sports Brief also reported on Ivorian legend, Didier Drogba rating Nigeria's chances at the 2023 AFCON as the Super Eagles face the host nation in the group stage.

Jose Peseiro's side is tipped as one of the favourites to win the continental competition next year, but it will not be an easy ride for the West Africans in the group phase.

Speaking after the draw earlier this week, Drogba stated their AFCON pool would be a difficult group for both the Elephants and the Super Eagles to advance from.
