The group stages of the ongoing Total Energies AFCON U20 tournament in Egypt concluded last night with two games from Group C.
Gambia and Senegal cruised to the quarter finals as the only two team with a 100% winning record.
The quarter finals will officially kick off on Thursday 2nd March with Senegal taking on Benin in the early kick off.
Uganda’s Hippos who topped Group B will face off with Nigeria later on the same day.
On Friday, Gambia will take on South Sudan while Congo Brazzaville will face Tunisia in the final game.
The eventual winners in each of the four quarter final games will automatically qualify for the U20 World Cup to be held in Indonesia in June.
It should be noted that if the Hippos eliminate Nigeria, they will face the eventual winners between Gambia and South Sudan in the semi final.
A total of 31 goals have been scored so far with Senegal’s Pape Diop being the leading scorer with four goals on his name.
