Nigeria vs Cote d'Ivoire: When is the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations tie and how can I watch?

Nigeria begin their quest for African U23 glory when they face Cote d’Ivoire in their opening Group B fixture.

The Olympic Eagles beat Sudan to qualify for Egypt 2019, while the Elephants edged Guinea over two legs.

Victory for either side will be crucial in their quest to progress to the competition’s semi-final – where Africa’s three representatives for Tokyo 2020 Olympics Games will be picked.

The encounter is scheduled to kick off at 4:00 pm (West African Time) on Saturday, November 9. Gates open in the afternoon and fans would have a chance to buy their tickets, which will be complemented by activities such as the locker room experience, photo booths and a pre-match music extravaganza.
