The Under-17 World Cup is currently at the 3rd day stage in groups D and C. Tunisia has already secured its spot in the round of 16 with two victories. Côte d’Ivoire, with 4 points, is waiting to determine its fate, as it could qualify based on the positions of the four best third-placed teams. Morocco also has a chance to qualify if they secure at least a draw in their match against Panama.
The Lion Cubs of the Atlas, after a victory and a draw in the first and second days, respectively, face Panama. A draw in this match will be sufficient for Morocco to advance to the round of 16. This is Morocco’s first participation in the Under-17 World Cup after finishing 4th in the last African Cup of Nations.
Tunisia, already qualified, is expected to rotate the squad to rest the regular players. They face Japan, who has also won their first two matches. Both nations, already qualified, will aim for victory to secure the top spot in the group and face a potentially less challenging opponent in the second round.
