Nigeria, drawn in Group B, faces formidable opponents Burkina Faso, Togo, and Niger. The Golden Eaglets clinched the WAFU B U17 AFCON title in 2022 after a hard-fought victory over Burkina Faso in the regional final. However, their journey to defend their title will be challenging, with familiar rivals Togo and Niger also in their group.

Burkina Faso, who finished third in the last TotalEnergies U17 Africa Cup of Nations, brings strong performance credentials to the tournament, heightening anticipation for thrilling encounters in Group B. Nigeria will need to deliver top performances to navigate this challenging group and secure a spot in next year’s U17 AFCON.

Thursday’s fixtures promise exciting matches, with Burkina Faso taking on Nigeria, while Togo battles Niger in Group B encounters. With a spot in the U17 AFCON at stake, the WAFU B qualifying tournament promises drama and excitement as teams vie for supremacy from May 15 to May 28, 2024.

Groups:

Group A: Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, Benin
