The Wafu Organising Committee recently dispatched a communique announcing the new dates for the Zone A U17 tournament, which will also be used by CAF as Regional Qualifiers for the Afcon U17 tournament Morocco 2021. “The new dates would really help the Technical Team to have more time and prepare adequately hence some of our players are being affected by the MRI test”, Bojang noted.

The WAFU Zone A U-17 tournament was originally scheduled to take place in December 2020 in Sierra Leone. The tournament however was postponed by WAFU citing logistical problems although a new venue is yet to be announced.
