CAN U17: the schedule for Sunday, April 6

The third and final round of the CAN U17 group stage promises to be decisive this Sunday, with key fixtures in Groups A and B.

With qualifications, battles for the top spot, and last-minute hopes on the line, the tension will be palpable.

Burkina Faso – South Africa

Already qualified with two wins, Burkina Faso might rotate their squad but are clearly aiming for the top spot in Group B. The young Stallions, solid and inspired, will want to maintain their good momentum.

On the other hand, South Africa (4 points) only need a draw to advance. But a defeat, combined with a Cameroonian victory, could ruin everything. The Bafana Juniors must stay focused.

Cameroon – Egypt

Cameroon can no longer afford any mistakes. With just one point, a victory against Egypt is imperative, while hoping for a South African slip-up.

Egypt, already eliminated, can still aim for third place, which means a playoff for the U17 World Cup. A win is thus necessary, making the encounter explosive.

Morocco – Tanzania

Morocco, playing at home, is competing for the top spot. A draw suffices, but the Atlas Cubs will aim for a clear victory to avoid a strong opponent in the quarter-finals.

Tanzania, already eliminated, will try to salvage some pride after two heavy defeats.

Uganda – Zambia

A tense clash ahead: Zambia only needs a draw, while Uganda must win. This duel of opposing styles promises a real spectacle.

Below is the full schedule for the matches on Sunday, April 6:

• 5 PM GMT: Burkina Faso vs South Africa (Stade Larbi Zaouli, Casablanca)
• 5 PM GMT: Cameroon vs Egypt (Stade El Bachir, Mohammédia)
• 7 PM GMT: Morocco vs Tanzania (Stade El Bachir, Mohammédia)
• 7 PM GMT: Uganda vs Zambia (Stade Larbi Zaouli, Casablanca)
