The North African side, crowned continental champions in 1997, will face Nigeria, Egypt, and South Africa in the group stage of the tournament, which runs from April 26 to May 18 in Côte d’Ivoire.
Host nation Côte d’Ivoire will compete in Group A alongside DR Congo, Ghana, Tanzania, and a second team from the Central African Football Federations’ Union (UNIFFAC).
Defending champions Senegal headline Group C, where they will meet Zambia, Kenya, and Sierra Leone.
The top two teams from each group, along with the two best third-placed teams, will advance to the quarter-finals, with the tournament following a knockout format from that stage onward.
The four semi-finalists will secure qualification for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile, scheduled for Sept. 27 to Oct. 19, 2025.
