In barely four days from today, the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations will kick off with Nigerians and citizens of other 15 African countries hoping for the best for their teams.

Coach Stephen Keshi who won the cup as a player and captain in 1994 will be under tremendous pressure to deliver.

Keshi will want to score another first as the only player to win the trophy as both former captain and coach.

Facts and Figures: Statistics and Team
Statistics shows that the Super Eagles have competed at 16 tournaments spanning 50 years and won two, finished runners-up four times and third seven times an incredible record of consistency.

Only in 1963 and 1982 (first round) and 2008 (quarter-finals) have the Eagles failed to collect medals and they look good for at least a last-eight place in South Africa after drawing Burkina Faso, Ethiopia and Zambia in Group C.

Countries finishing first and second in each of four mini-leagues advance to the quarter-finals and Nigeria and defending champions Zambia are considered the likely survivors.
The Super Eagles surprisingly failed to qualify for the 2012 Cup of Nations in Gabon/Equatorial Guinea and Coach Samon Siasia paid the price when his contract was not renewed.

Keshi, a no-nonsense coach who skippered Nigeria the last time Eagles conquered Africa with a comeback 2-1 triumph over Zambia in Tunis 19 years ago took over the job with so much promise.
