The groups for the highly anticipated TotalEnergies CAF U-17 Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2026 pits some great sides against each other, setting the stage for one of the most competitive youth tournaments in African football history. The competition will run from May 13 to June 2, 2026, with 16 nations battling not only for continental glory but also for qualification to the expanded FIFA U-17 World Cup 2026.
Hosts Morocco headline a difficult Group A alongside Tunisia, Egypt, and Ethiopia in what many fans are already calling a “North African battle group.”
Group B promises fireworks as former champions Côte d’Ivoire and Cameroon face Uganda and tournament debutants DR Congo. Meanwhile, Group C sees runners-up Mali take on Angola, Tanzania, and Mozambique.
Perhaps the toughest pool is Group D, featuring heavyweights Senegal, South Africa, Ghana, and Algeria. Football fans across the continent expect this group to deliver intense clashes and emerging stars.
The stakes are massive this year because Africa now has 10 qualification spots for the FIFA U-17 World Cup. The eight quarter-finalists will qualify automatically, while the third-placed teams from each group will enter playoffs for the remaining two tickets.
With exciting groups, rising young talent, and World Cup places on the line, the U-17 AFCON 2026 promises to be a tournament African football fans cannot afford to miss. What do you think of the CAF U-17 Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2026 Groups?
