The qualifications for CAN U 17, North Africa zone organized by the UNAF from January 18 to 23 in progress, in Algeria, without Morocco and Egypt. Only three countries in the region are participating: Algeria, Tunisia and Libya.
The draw for the program took place in the last week of December.
The program :
January 18: Algeria vs Libya
January 21: Libya vs Tunisia
January 23: Tunisia vs Algeria.
A single qualified country:
Each national team plays two (2) matches. The first in the standings after the six (6) matches in the program validates their ticket for the final phase of the CAN U17 which will be hosted by eight (8) African national selections.
The absence of Morocco?
The national team is not participating in the imminent regional qualifying phase for a simple reason: Morocco is the host country of the next CAN U17.
As a result, the national team is automatically qualified for the final phase without going through the qualifications.
CAN U17-Morocco-March 2021
The final tournament will take place in Morocco from March 13 to 31. Initially, this final tournament was to be played in July. But Morocco proposed to bring it forward to March, a proposal subsequently validated by the African Football Confederation.
