Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets will meet Cote d’Ivoire’s U-17 national team in the semifinals of the WAFU B Zone u-17 Africa Cup of Nations Cup qualifiers on Tuesday, June 21.

The Eaglets finished top of Group A, which has only three teams, after beating Ghana 4-2 and Togo 3-1 in a show of total dominance.

Cote d’Ivoire, on Saturday, set up a date with the Nigerian boys despite falling 4-2 to Group B winners Burkina Faso.

The Baby Elephants had earlier been stunned 3-2 by a hard-fighting Benin u-17 team in their opening group match.

But the Ivorians regained their composure on matchday two to force a 6-1 humiliation down the throat of the Niger Republic.

Benin, who needed only a draw to guarantee second place behind Burkina Faso u-17,  were themselves handed a 3-1 spanking by Niger, allowing the Baby Elephants to steal past them into the semifinals.

High-flying Burkina Faso, the only unbeaten team in the competition alongside Nigeria, face Group A runners-up Ghana in the other semifinal clash.

The two semi-final matches will take place at the Cape Coast Stadium on Tuesday.

Only the finalists are guaranteed their spots at the Africa U-17 Cup of Nations in Algeria next year.
