The Burkina Faso 6-1 victory against Zambia took them to their sixth semi-final. They have reached at least the last-4 in their previous three appearances, finishing third twice in 2009 and 2023, and as winners in 2011.

My instincts are telling me that Burkina Faso will take this year’s Total Energies CAF u17 AFCON.

Morocco u17 were superb across the 90 minutes and found themselves 3-1 victory over South Africa to qualify for the semifinals but can Morocco win this year’s edition as they were runners-up in 2004 And have been the winners of AFCON since 1976.
