RWANDA 2016: Zimbabwe happy to avoid CHAN Eagles

ZIMBABWE'S Team Manager, Sharif Mussa has expressed delight as his side was not drawn against Nigeria in the Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) finals tournament scheduled for January 16 through February 7.
According to Mussa, "Our group is not that tough. We avoided big guns like Nigeria and Cote d'Ivoire besides the hosts, Rwanda. In Africa now there are no big or small teams. I was with Zimbabwe in the previous two editions and we will go and complete what we started before. I believe CAF helps players to develop with such tournaments. CHAN is a great chance for African talents to show their skills."
Recall Nigeria defeated Zimbabwe to claim the bronze medal in the last edition that was hosted by South Africa.

GROUPS
Group A: Rwanda, Cote d’Ivoire, Morocco, Gabon.
Group B: DRC, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Angola
Group C: Tunisia, Guinea, Niger, Nigeria
Group D: Zimbabwe, Zambia, Uganda, Mali
