Atlas Cubs Land in a Tough Arab Group at the U17 AFCON

The draw for the Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) held this Wednesday placed the Morocco national team in Group A, alongside Egypt, Tunisia and Ethiopia.

This group looks set to be one of the toughest in the tournament, given the strong Arab presence and the eagerly awaited rivalry between the three sides, not to mention Ethiopia's ambition to spring a surprise.

The Atlas Cubs will face a major challenge to prove their readiness and compete for a qualification ticket, especially given the high expectations placed on them to continue shining on the continental stage.
