Cote d’Ivoire 2025: Flying Eagles set up battles against Egypt, South Africa, Morocco

Posted : 13 February 2025

Seven-time champions Nigeria will face tough opponents in Egypt, South Africa, and Morocco in the group stage of this year’s Africa U-20 Cup of Nations, scheduled to take place in Côte d’Ivoire from April 26 to May 18.  


The Flying Eagles edged past host nation Egypt with a 1-0 victory in a group-stage match during the last edition of the competition. They must ensure a strong start to their campaign in Côte d’Ivoire to build confidence for what promises to be a challenging tournament. Nigeria finished third in Egypt two years ago.  


Former Malian player Adama Coulibaly, who assisted with the draw conducted at CAF headquarters in Egypt on Thursday, stated: “There is no doubt that the toughest group is Group B, which includes Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa, and Morocco.”  


Host nation Côte d’Ivoire will compete in Group A alongside DR Congo, Ghana, Tanzania, and the yet-to-be-determined representative from the Central African zone.  


Defending champions Senegal lead Group C, which also features Zambia and two debutants, Kenya and Sierra Leone.  


The top two teams from each group, along with the two best third-placed teams from the three groups, will advance to the quarter-finals.  


Group Draw:  
Group A: Côte d’Ivoire, UNNIFAC, DR Congo, Ghana, Tanzania  
Group B: Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa, Morocco  
Group C: Senegal, Zambia, Kenya, Sierra Leone
