African champions, the Super Eagles will today know the opponents they will face in the group stage of the World Cup when the draw  for the 2014 football spectacle  is held today in Brazil.

The draw ceremony, which has generated a lot of interest given its huge significance  to determine a team’s chance to progress to the knockout stage and ultimately World Cup glory, will be conducted by FIFA Secretary-General Jerome Valcke and will be broadcast live on free-to-air-channels in no fewer than 193 countries from 5pm Nigerian time.

The actual ceremony holds in Costa do Sauipe on Brazil’s Bahia coast. It lasts for 90 minutes.

Eagles like other African teams that qualified for the tournament, are in Pot 2, alongside South American sides Chile and Ecuadoar.

Pot 1 consists of the eight top seeds, one of each to be drawn in Groups A-H, with hosts Brazil  allocated position A1 in the draw and will play the opening match in Sao Paulo on June 12. Spain, Argentina, Belgium, Colombia, Germany, Switzerland and  Uruguay make up the other countries in this Pot.

Blind and visually impaired fans will also be able to enjoy a special live-match experience at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Thanks to a brand new commentary system which broadcasts via radio frequency and can be picked up on any personal radio headsets, blind and partially sighted fans will be able to sit anywhere in the stadium.

This service, which is part of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Sustainability Strategy, will enable many more disabled supporters to enjoy the tournament and also create a legacy that will have a lasting impact long after the final whistle has been blown.
