Tunisia vs Guinea Nigeria vs Niger 6pm

Tunisia will take on Guinea while Nigeria face Niger in Group C opening matches today at the Kigali Regional Stadium in Nyamirambo—the first match between Tunisia and Guinea kicks-off at 3pm.

Tunisia, who are the CHAN 2011 champions, and Guinea have met seventeen times; each team has won seven times and drew three. Both sides will be aiming to win the first match in order to keep the eye on the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, in the other match of the day, Nigeria head coach, Sunday Oliseh, will now turn focus on their neighbouring country Republic of Niger.  Nigeria has managed to win four games against Niger in five previous meetings, and a draw.
