The young Cheetahs now know their opponents for the upcoming U17 Championship of the UFOA-B zone. They were placed in Group B with Burkina Faso and Nigeria, following the draw held in Yamoussoukro.
Group A features the host nation Ivory Coast, along with Niger, Togo, and Ghana. The competition will take place from September 20 to October 3, 2025, in Ivory Coast’s political capital. It will serve as a qualifying tournament for the next Africa U17 Cup of Nations.
