U-20 AFCON: Flying Eagles now to confront Tunisia, Kenya and Morocco

Posted : 15 April 2025

Nigeria will now have to contend with Morocco, Kenya, and Tunisia in the group phase of the 24th Africa U-20 Cup of Nations, which will take place in Egypt from April 27th to May 18th this year.


In the redraw conducted at the headquarters of the Egypt Football Association in Cairo on Sunday, Egypt and South Africa, who were originally in Nigeria’s group before Côte d'Ivoire withdrew as tournament hosts, found themselves in Group A.


New hosts Egypt head Group A, which has five teams: Zambia, Sierra Leone, South Africa, and Tanzania.


However, just as it was originally, the Flying Eagles will face two North African teams (this time Tunisia and Morocco), as well as East Africans Kenya, for a spot in the quarter-finals.


Cup holders Senegal head Group C, with the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Ghana as their opponents.


Back in Abuja following their three-week training camp in Katsina, the seven-time African champions are expected to fly to Egypt this week for an eight-day final-phase preparation before the competition begins.


All four semi-finalists at the tournament in Egypt will represent Africa at this year’s FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile, from September 27th to October 19th.


GROUP A: Egypt, Zambia, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania
GROUP B: Nigeria, Tunisia, Kenya, Morocco
GROUP C: Senegal, Central African Republic, DR Congo, Ghana
