CAF Reveals AFCON 2013 Seeds… Nigeria Drawn In Pot 2 With Mali, Angola And Tunisia

The Confederation of African Football has
revealed the seeding for the draw for the 2013
Africa Cup of Nations.
Ivory Coast are among the top seeds, despite the
abandonment of their second-leg tie with
Senegal and no news of an official result from
Caf.
The Ivorians were 6-2 up on aggregate when
Saturday’s game in Dakar was called off because
of crowd violence.
Tournament hosts South Africa are also among
the top seeds, along with reigning champions
Zambia and Ghana.
Cape Verde, who qualified for the first time in
their history by pulling off a shock 3-2 aggregate
victory over four-time champions Cameroon, are
in the fourth pot.
Also among the lowest-ranked teams are 1962
champions Ethiopia, who have qualified for the
first time since 1982.
The tournament takes place in South Africa
between 19 January and 10 February 2013.
Teams in the same pot cannot be drawn against
each other. The draw will be held on 24 October
in Durban.
Seedings:
•Pot one: South Africa, Zambia, Ghana, Ivory
Coast
•Pot two: Mali, Tunisia, Angola, Nigeria
•Pot three: Algeria, Burkina Faso, Morocco, Niger
•Pot four: Togo, Cape Verde, DR Congo, Ethiopia.
