Reactions- AFCON 2015 Draw
Paul Put: Burkina Faso coach
African football has grown a lot and there are no easy games at all but it is a good draw provided we play at our best, we stand a chance to qualify. Angola and Gabon are good sides and we know it’s going to be tough against the other three teams. If you want to be at AFCON finals you have to do well in these qualifiers and Burkina Faso must be ready.
Constant Omari: President DR Congo Football Federation
In my opinion it is a fine group. Yes you look at Ivory Coast and Cameroun and one thinks what a difficult draw but as DR Congo and to the players, these teams - Ivory Coast and Cameroon - are familiar to us and we are capable of holding our own against them. So l think the group is level and all teams have equal chances.
Kalusha Bwalya: President Zambia Football Association
It is a tough draw and in today’s football, especially on our African continent, everybody is a tough opponent. Niger is a strong side that we have played against in a number of years and we all saw what Cape Verde did at the AFCON finals last year in South Africa. They were the surprise team, so they will still be competitive. To add to the twist and toughness of it all the winner from the 2nd round could be one of our neighbours, Mozambique, Tanzania or Zimbabwe and it’s never easy as these are derby games, so you can see why l say it’s a tough draw but Zambia is always ready for a challenge and will give it a good go.
Juneidi Basha: President Ethiopia Football Federation
It is a strong group we find ourselves in, with Algeria, Mali and the winner of the 2nd round qualifier. I however think it is a possibility for us to finish first or second and we will aim for that. Yes it will be tough but after the progress we made reaching last AFCON and CHAN finals we want to maintain that record and even go better hence we have got new coach, Barreto, who will be leading our quest to reach Morocco 2015 finals.
