The Gambia's young soccer team has wonderful news! They will play in a big tournament in Morocco next month. They didn't win their spot at first, but they made it because FIFA decided more teams from Africa could join the World Cup.
These young players, all under 17 years old, will face other teams from Senegal, Tunisia, and Somalia in what we call Group C. The tournament will happen between March 30 and April 19, 2025. Two famous former soccer players, Adama Coulibaly from Mali and Souleymane Camara from Senegal helped pick which teams would play against each other.
Morocco will host this exciting tournament at its home. The teams will play against Uganda, Tanzania, and Zambia. Other teams, such as Burkina Faso, South Africa, and Egypt, will play in another group. Mali, Angola, and other teams will play in their own groups as well.
This tournament matters a lot because it helps decide which teams from Africa will go to the FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Qatar. Africa can send ten teams this time, which makes everyone very excited! It's a big chance for these young players to show how good they are at soccer.
The teams will work hard to become the champions of Africa. Every player dreams of winning this special competition. Nigeria has won the World Cup five times before, which shows how good African teams can be at this level of soccer.
