UFOA A U17: Guinea wins bronze and qualifies for the U17 AFCON

UFOA A now knows its three qualifiers for the next U17 Africa Cup of Nations. After Senegal and Gambia, Guinea secured its ticket by winning the third-place play-off against Liberia.

Aboubacar Diallo, the hero in Dakar

At the Léopold Sédar Senghor Stadium in Dakar, Guinea won 2-0 against Liberia. The hero of the day was Boubacar Diallo, who scored twice to earn bronze for his team. After pulling off the feat of eliminating Mali 2-1 in the quarter-finals, the young Guineans held on to their dream. Mission accomplished.

A return awaited since 2019

This qualification marks the Syli U17's long-awaited return to the continental stage, 8 years after its last appearance at the U17 Africa Cup of Nations in 2019. A fine reward for a generation that seized its opportunity.
