Nigeria will play Spain, Uruguay and Tahiti at the 2013 Fifa Confederations Cup in Brazil after winning the Africa Cup of Nations title on Sunday.
.
It is a tall order for the Super Eagles as Spain are the World Cup and Euro championship title-holders and Uruguay came fourth at the last World Cup and are the reigning South Americans kings.
.
African teams have not performed well at a now - quadrennial tournament that is staged a year before a World Cup as a dress rehearsal, and brings together the champions of the six Fifa regions plus the host nation and the world champions.
.
Because Spain are the holders of the world and European titles, Euro 2012 runners-up Italy were included in the draw made last December with the African champions still unknown.
.
Cameroon are the only Africans to reach the final, losing 1-0 to hosts France in 2003, but it proved a tragic tournament for the Indomitable Lions with Marc Vivien Foe suffering a fatal heart attack in an earlier match.
Tough teams are next o.Especially that Spain. We will pull through by God's grace sha
