Niger coach, Badou Zaki, believes his team has a strong chance in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, considering their group to be manageable.
Niger has been drawn into Group F, alongside Ghana, Angola, and Sudan.
In response to the draw, the Moroccan coach expressed confidence in his team's ability to qualify, describing the group as affordable.
"We are in an affordable group," he told CAFOnline.com. "We have every chance of qualifying."
"For me, Ghana is a football country with a selection with great professionals. But it is not the team of 5 or 6 years ago. Even at home, they can lose. Angola showed a good face during the last CAN and beautiful football, modern, fast football. It is a selection that has shaken up the big teams in Côte d'Ivoire. I know Sudan very well. They are first in their qualifying group for the World Cup. They will be dangerous, but we know our strengths and we know that we can go far," he added.
Niger's campaign will begin in September 2024 with matches against Sudan and Ghana.
