答疑：MornightNigeria have recalled Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel for next month's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at home to Liberia. The first leg ended 2-2. Mikel is yet to play for the Eagles since coach Stephen Keshi took over in November. The final round of qualifying's not yet been completed but tickets for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations go on sale in South Africa on Wednesday. With more details, here's the BBC's Matthew Kenyon in Johannesburg.
"Well, the organisers of the Nations Cup here in South Africa 2013 are gearing up for the opening of ticket sales for the tournament. They go on sale here in Johannesburg and around the country at 8 o'clock local time tomorrow morning, now of course that is before the final round of qualifying matches and also before the draw on the 24th October, but they need to get the tickets sales up and running because they're very aware that there's a bit of bad history of poor attendance at recent Africa Cup of Nations and they are trying to do something about that. They are saying the tickets are gonna be considerably cheaper, you should be, if you buy earlier enough, able to get a ticket for a group match for around about 40 Rand which is something like $3.70 at the moment at the discount rate, and they are also hoping to tap into South Africa's very big African expat community. The tickets are gonna be on sale in supermarkets around the country, and they are also gonna be on sale on the internet and by telephone and that means that fans across the continent and beyond should also be able to secure tickets. They may, of course, decide to wait until they know if their country's qualified."来看非洲国家杯预选赛，下月尼日利亚将主场对阵利比里亚，他们将召回切尔西中场约翰•奥比•米克尔(John Obi Mikel)助战。小组第一回合两队2-2战平。自11月教练换为斯蒂芬•科西(Stephen Keshi)以来，米克尔一直为非洲雄鹰效力。尽管预选赛的最后回合还未上演，但是周三起2013非洲国家杯的球票已经在南非开售。下面请听BBC记者马修•肯扬(Matthew Kenyon)在约翰尼斯堡(Johannesburg)给我们发回的详细报道。
“非洲国家杯的组织者正在紧锣密鼓地准备球票的开售。明早8点，在约翰尼斯堡乃至全国各地，球票都将开始出售。尽管预选赛的最终回合还未上演，甚至连10月24日的抽签仪式也未来临，但由于最近非洲国家杯比赛的观众出席率极低，组织方力图采取一些措施，他们必须提早进行球票预售。组织方还表明球票会相当便宜，如果你想买的话可得抓紧了。比赛球票现在正在打折出售，只需40兰特，相当于3.7美元的样子。另外组织方还希望推进在非洲相当庞大的外籍社区的销售活动。通过全国各地的超市，甚至通过网络和电话，都能购买到打折球票。这意味着整个洲际甚至跨州的球迷都能够买到球票。当然，球迷们也可能先看看自己国家的球队是否晋级，静观其变。”
