The 2013 African champions begin their quest for glory against Croatia in Kaliningrad on June 16, 2018.

But the Super Eagles will play La Albiceleste for the fifth time in the group stage of the quadrennial showpiece with previous fixtures in the 1994, 2002, 2010, 2014 editions.

Having defeated Jorge Sampaoli’s men 4-2 in a friendly encounter at the Krasnodar Stadium in November, football enthusiasts took to social media to express their reactions to the draw which took place at the State Kremlin Palace in Moscow.
