The Home Eagles are set for a difficult first round at the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) after failing to be included among the seeded teams.
The draw ceremony will hold at the Confederation of African Football (CAF) headquarters in Cairo, Egypt on Tuesday.
The Eagles are making a return to the competition after a six-year absence.
They defeated perennial rivals Ghana 3-1 on aggregate in the final qualifying round last weekend.
According to CAF, teams will be seeded based on results from the last three editions of CHAN (2022, 2020 and 2018).
