civ gets the toughest draw face Senegal for nations cup qualifier
Ivory Coast will face Senegal in the final round of
qualifying for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations. The tie will see two west African giants go head-to-head,
depriving one of a finals berth in South Africa. The draw, made in Johannesburg on Thursday evening,
also sees champions Zambia face Uganda, while Libya
will meet north African rivals Algeria. The ties will be played out over two legs between 7-9
September and 12-14 October. The Teranga Lions' draw represents the toughest
possible start for new Senegal coach Joseph Koto, who
has just been appointed to the role on a two-year
contract. Ghana's Black Stars have been drawn against Malawi,
while Nigeria, who missed out on the 2012 finals, will
come up against Liberia. Seven-time African champions Egypt were absent from
the draw after being eliminated by Central African
Republic. CAR, who became the 30th team to make the final round
of qualifying, when they triumphed over the Pharoahs
4-3 on aggregate last Saturday, will face Burkina Faso. South Africa qualify for the 2013 tournament as hosts. The full list of fixtures are:
Mali v Botswana
Zimbabwe v Angola
Ghana v Malawi
Liberia v Nigeria
Zambia v Uganda
Cape Verde Islands v Cameroon
Mozambique v Morocco
Sierra Leone v Tunisia
Guinea v Niger
Sudan v Ethiopia
Libya v Algeria
