Africa Cup of Nations 2013

Africa Cup of Nations 2013, South Africa

South Africa as host nation qualified automatically as a top seed in Group A, and is joined by minnows Cape Verde, Morocco and Angola. 

Coaches were satisfied with the Africa Cup of Nations draw with hosts South Africa seeing Morocco as their toughest opponents and Ivory Coast, Tunisia and Algeria in a 'group of death'.  "All the draws were tough and I think this is a fairly good draw for us," said South Africa coach Gordon Igesund. "It was touch and go because it was either going to be Nigeria or Angola,"  he said, relieved that of two remaining countries to be allocated, Angola fell in Group A with the hosts and Nigeria in Group C with Zambia.
