CAN U17: the schedule for Friday, April 4

The group stage of the Africa Cup of Nations, CAN U17, is in full swing this Friday, April 4, with four crucial matches that could shape the rest of the competition.

While some teams must bounce back, others look to maintain their strong start. The complete schedule:

Gambia – Somalia

• Time: 3 PM GMT
• Venue: Stade El Bachir, Mohammedia

In Group C, Gambia, beaten by Senegal (1-0) in their opener, is already fighting for survival against a struggling Somalia, who were thrashed by Tunisia (3-0). A defeat for either team could likely seal their fate.

Tunisia – Senegal

• Time: 6 PM GMT
• Venue: Stade El Bachir, Mohammedia

The day's headline match features two winners from the opening day. Senegal's young Lions, solid but unconvincing against Gambia, face a confident Tunisia. The winner could take a significant step towards the quarterfinals.

Angola – Ivory Coast

• Time: 6 PM GMT
• Venue: Stade Larbi Zaouli, Casablanca

Angola needs to bounce back after their defeat to Mali (2-1), while Ivory Coast, elated after their 6-1 victory over Central Africa, can already secure their qualification.

Central Africa – Mali

• Time: 9 PM GMT
• Venue: Stade Larbi Zaouli, Casablanca

A crucial match for Central Africa, already in danger. Mali, on the other hand, can clinch their spot in the quarters with a win.
