Ivory Coast will face Uganda this Tuesday in a crucial Group B match at the AFCON U17. The young Elephants started the tournament strongly with victories against Cameroon and DR Congo. These two wins pushed Ivory Coast to the top of the group with six points and strengthened the team’s status as one of the competition’s favorites.
Uganda still believes in qualification after defeating DR Congo following its opening loss against Cameroon. With three points from two matches, the Ugandans know that a positive result against Ivory Coast could change everything in Group B. The team will therefore attack this encounter with determination and confidence as it chases a place in the next round.
Ivory Coast only needs a draw to secure qualification and maintain its unbeaten run in the tournament. The match will kick off this Tuesday, May 19 at 4pm and should deliver an exciting battle between two ambitious teams eager to continue their AFCON U17 journey.
