Afcon holders Nigeria will
battle Ethiopia for a spot at the 2014 World Cup, as was decided by the Africa
zone play-off draw in Cairo on Monday.
The Super Eagles will play away first to the Walya Antelopes in October,
before hosting the second leg at home in Nigeria.
Ethiopia are the least-ranked of the 10 teams that qualified for the final
phase of the series, with a FIFA ranking of 93 and 25th in Africa, compared to
Nigeria’s 36th place.
The odds favour the African champions in this draw. In 7 previous meetings,
they have won 5, drawn 1 and lost just once to Ethiopia.
By far the toughest draw of the round features Ghana against Egypt, while
Africa’s top-ranked team Côte d’Ivoire get to play Senegal in a repeat of
their 2013 African Nations Cup qualifying.
The first leg of the ties happen in between October 11-15 with the second
legs taking place between November 15-19.
Draw results:
Ethiopia v Nigeria
Ivory Coast v Senegal
Ghana v Egypt
Tunisia v Cameroon
Burkina Faso v Algeria
