At the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations, two major matches will take place today. Ahead of the quarterfinals, the teams advancing from the group stage will be determined based on the matches played today and tomorrow.
In previous fixtures, Nigeria and Kenya drew 2-2, while Morocco defeated Tunisia 3-1. As a result, Morocco topped Group B with 7 points, and Nigeria advanced as the second-placed team with 5 points. Tunisia, with 3 points, and Kenya, with 1 point, were eliminated from the tournament.
Today, matches from Group C will be played. In the clash between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Senegal, Senegal must win to secure a spot in the next round, while a draw will be enough for the Democratic Republic of Congo to advance.
The other game will be between Ghana and the Central African Republic. A draw will be sufficient for Ghana to reach the quarterfinals. However, the Central African Republic will be eliminated if they fail to win.
Tomorrow, Group A matches will take place. Based on the outcomes of those games, any team in the group—except for Tanzania—can still qualify for the quarterfinals.
The tournament matches will be played at 3:00 PM local time in Ghana and Senegal, and at 4:00 PM local time in the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
