The national U17 football squad from Sénégal is preparing for a significant challenge at the Coupe d’Afrique des Nations U17 (AFCON U17) tournament, which is set to take place in Morocco from May 13 to June 2, 2026. Football enthusiasts are keen to follow the journey of the young Lions, and here is their complete fixture list.
Sénégal approaches this competition with a clear mandate: to re-establish their dominance in African youth football. After clinching the AFCON U17 title in 2023, the Lionceaux faced an unexpected exit in the quarter-finals during the most recent edition. Under the strategic leadership of former Senegalese international Lamine Sané, the team is fully committed to returning to its championship form. They have been drawn into a highly competitive Group D, alongside formidable rivals Ghana, South Africa, and Algeria. This challenging group demands absolute focus, as any minor slip-up could severely impact their progression.
Sénégal’s campaign will commence on May 14 with a crucial opening match against South Africa. Their second group stage encounter is scheduled for May 17, where they will face Ghana. The final group fixture for the Senegalese contingent will be on May 20, a pivotal showdown against Algeria.
It is vital to highlight that teams successfully advancing to the quarter-finals of this prestigious AFCON U17 tournament will also earn their coveted berths in the upcoming FIFA U17 World Cup, adding an extra layer of competitive intensity to every single match.
