Ouagadougou prepares for CAN U17 qualification draw covering boys’ and girls’ competitions

The draw for the Africa Cup of Nations Under-17 qualifying competitions in the UFOA-B zone is due to begin shortly in Ouagadougou, with both boys’ and girls’ selections waiting to discover their opponents.

The ceremony will determine the early match-ups in the regional qualification process. National teams involved will soon learn which sides they must face as they attempt to progress through the UFOA-B route to the CAN U17 tournaments.

No pairings have been announced yet, but the draw is expected to provide the first clear outline of the competition for the participating selections. The boys’ and girls’ competitions are both included in the ceremony, meaning the event will establish the opponents for teams in each section.

Supporters, players and officials can follow proceedings live through the digital platforms of CAF ZONE OUEST B. The draw will be broadcast across all of the organisation’s platforms, allowing audiences to watch the allocation as it happens.

The event is taking place in Ouagadougou, where the selections’ immediate paths in the CAN U17 qualifying campaign will be revealed. Until the draw begins, the teams remain without confirmed opponents.

The UFOA-B zone is the regional section covered by this qualification draw. The process applies specifically to the Under-17 competitions for boys and girls, with the upcoming ceremony serving as the point at which the participating national teams are matched against one another.

For the selections, the draw represents the first major stage of the campaign. Once the pairings are made, each team will know the challenge ahead and the opponents standing between them and progress in the relevant CAN U17 competition.

The ceremony is scheduled to start in the coming moments. CAF ZONE OUEST B has invited viewers to follow the live event on its platforms as the boys’ and girls’ fixtures are decided.
