Senegal crowned U-17 AFCON champions after penalty shootout victory over Tanzania

Wednesday, 3 June 2026, 06:21 · 1 min read

Senegal have won the CAF Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations (a continental youth football championship organised by the Confederation of African Football) after defeating Tanzania 4-2 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in the final held in Rabat, Morocco. Tanzania had taken a shock lead through Hamis Chenga in the seventh minute before Ibrahima Dione equalised for Senegal in the 64th minute, and with neither side able to find a winner in normal time, Senegal held their nerve in the shootout, converting all four of their attempts while Tanzania missed two. The victory marks Senegal's second title at this level and ends a historic run for Tanzania's Serengeti Boys, who reached their first-ever U-17 AFCON final and secured qualification for the FIFA U-17 World Cup.
