CAN U20: Tunisia re-drafted, new draw to come?
Egypt is preparing to host the next U20 AFCON, originally scheduled for Côte d'Ivoire. The tournament ultimately withdrew at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances that forced the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) and the Ivorian government to cancel the event, without providing further details.
Faced with this late withdrawal, just one month before the kickoff, CAF logically turned to Egypt. Already a candidate to host the competition, the Egyptian Football Association (EFA), supported by the country's authorities, saw its proposal accepted. The tournament will be held from April 27 to May 18, 2025, with the opening match scheduled for Sunday, April 27, and the final scheduled for May 18.
This change of host country also resulted in a change in the participating teams. Tunisia was thus selected to replace Côte d'Ivoire. Although the Confederation of African Football has not yet officially announced the matter, the Tunisian Football Federation has already been contacted, according to sports journalist Mohammed Saied (WinWin).
According to the same source, a new group draw could take place as early as Sunday, April 13, although no official confirmation has yet been given by CAF. This draw would allow the composition of the groups, which is currently fixed, to be redetermined.
As a reminder, Morocco was drawn in a particularly tough group, alongside Egypt—now the host country—South Africa, and Nigeria.
