The 15th African Nations U20 Youth Championships 2007

Qualifying Rounds


The U20 African Championship is held every two years with the top 4 teams qualifying for the FIFA World Youth Championship  which will be hosted by Canada in 2007.

Until 1989 the African representatives were determined purely on a qualifying basis with no African title on the line. Since 1991 there has been a qualifying stage followed by a final tournament played by 8 teams in a chosen country.

Host country Congo automatically qualifies for the final rounds.
