Achcho reckoned they are in a difficult group, but insisted they will do their best to scale through the hurdle.
“It’s not an easy group. These are big nations, all with ambition to lead the table. But we also know our capabilities,” Aucho was quoted by CAFonline.
“With the experience we have added to the squad, we can combine well and compete. It will be tough, but I believe we can advance to the next round.”
The Cranes will be making their ninth appearance at the competition which will be hosted by Morocco.
