The Senegal U17 team will take the field this Thursday, September 10, 2026, against Sierra Leone in the second match of Group A at the UFOA-A U17 tournament. The match will kick off at 19:00 GMT at the Lat-Dior Stadium in Thiès.

The Young Lions started their tournament perfectly, winning against Mauritania 4-0 in their opening match. Playing at home, the Senegalese youngsters aim to maintain this momentum and take another step towards the semifinals.

On the other hand, the Sierra Leone players need to respond after their defeat to Gambia (1-4). The Sierra Leoneans are therefore compelled to earn points to keep their qualification hopes alive in a group where every match is crucial.

This second matchday is set to be critical for both teams. Senegal, the defending champion and host nation, will seek to assert its status as a contender, while Sierra Leone will try to revive its campaign.
