BATA –CAF Africa Cup of Nations hosts Equatorial Guinea will be pressed to get off to a WINNING start when they face Congo in the tournament’s opening game in Group A.

 The curtain-raiser to the competition in the country’s largest city Bata will be followed later in the day by a meeting of the group’s other two sides, Burkina Faso and Gabon, who clash again after doing battle in qualifying.

Equatorial Guinea rescued this year’s tournament by agreeing to act as hosts after the late withdrawal of Morocco due to Ebola fears, and their fans will now expect Nzalang Nacional to match the exploits of three years ago, when they beat all the odds to reach the last eight of the same competition on home soil.
