Nigeria U17 team will later today take on Morocco in their second group game at the ongoing U17 Africa Cup of Nations, which is taking place in Algeria, OGN reports.
Nigeria started their campaign with a 1-0 win over Zambia but were pushed to second on the group standing with Morocco going top after a 2-0 win over South Africa in the second group game.
Both teams will lock horns today with a spot in the quarterfinal up for grabs as any team who pick up a win will seal a spot in the next round, which will mean one more step before making it to the U17 Cup. All four semi finalist will represent Africa at the tournament in India.
The game will kick off by 5pm Nigerian time and will be live on television for Nigerians on Supersport 209. The station appears to be the dedicated channel for the tournament as they have shown all but one of the games at the tournament so far.
As it has been the case with most games at the tournament, several handles on Facebook will steam the game live and they can be found by using a simple search system of typing U17 AFCON on the search page of your handle.
For people based abroad the game will be live on the official YouTube channel of the Confederation of African Football (CAF). It is however not available for people residing in Nigeria as was the case yesterday.
