Super Eagles of Nigeria have been drawn with old rivals South Africa, Libya and Seychelles in Group E of the qualifiers with only the top side and the three best runners-up from the 12 pools advancing to the finals.
Gernot Rohr lead Super Eagles will start their qualifying series with a home tie against South Africa in the week of June 5-13, 2017.
The qualifiers then take a nine-month break and resume in March 2018, when Super Eagles will travel to Seychelles.
They then take on Libya in home and away matches in the week of 3-11 September 2018, before a taking on South Africa away between October 8-16 October, 2018.
