CAF Moves Up Morocco vs Cameroon U17 AFCON Quarter-Final Over Champions League Final

The Confederation of African Football has announced a change to the kickoff time of the match between Morocco's under-17 national team and their Cameroonian counterparts, in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) "Morocco 2026".

Under the new decision, the clash will be played on Sunday, May 24, 2026, at 5 PM, instead of the 8 PM kickoff that had previously been scheduled.

This change comes because the earlier slot clashed with the second leg of the CAF Champions League final, which will pit AS FAR (Royal Army) against Mamelodi Sundowns, prompting the continental body to reschedule the kickoff in order to avoid a conflict between these major football fixtures.

The match will be held on pitch No. 8 at the Mohammed VI Football Complex, as part of the under-17 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals, in an eagerly awaited encounter between the Morocco and Cameroon national teams.
