2026 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations is set to unveil a new generation of African football talent as the tournament takes place in Morocco from May 13 to June 2, 2026. Beyond the race for the continental title, the competition will also serve as a qualification pathway for the 2026 FIFA U-17 World Cup scheduled to be held in Qatar later this year. The Confederation of African Football has chosen a compact organization model centered around the renowned Mohammed VI Football Complex, which will become the heart of African youth football during the tournament.
Several venues inside the complex will host matches, while the prestigious Stade Moulay Hassan will stage the opening match, both semi-finals, and the grand final. Here is the complete schedule for the tournament, from the group stage to the final.
