Tournoi UFOA-A U20 (2026) : le retrait de la Guinée-Bissau réduit le groupe du Sénégal à trois équipes
Group B of the WAFU-A U20 tournament, a qualifier for the U20 Africa Cup of Nations Ghana 2027, has seen a last-minute change. Guinea-Bissau has decided to withdraw from the competition, which has been taking place in Bamako, Mali, since October 15.
The announcement was made Friday by the sub-regional body in a statement. The reasons for this withdrawal have not yet been officially disclosed. The Guinea-Bissau national team was scheduled to face Sierra Leone on Friday in their opening match of the tournament.
This withdrawal necessitates a reorganization of Group B, now composed of three teams: Senegal, Mauritania, and Sierra Leone. An updated match schedule is expected to reflect this withdrawal.
The Senegal U20 team, the defending champions, got their campaign off to a good start with a 2-1 victory over Mauritania. This win gives them a strong start in the competition, with the ambition of retaining their title and securing qualification for the 2027 U20 Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana.
With this last-minute change, the Lionceaux must wait five or six days before playing their final group match.
