Africa U-17 Cup of Nations
The Total U-17 Africa Cup of Nations is a bi-annual football competition organised by the sport's African governing body, CAF. The competition has been held since 1995. Between 1985 and 1993 only qualifying competitions for the FIFA U-17 World Cup were played.
On 6 August 2015, the CAF Executive Committee decided to change the name of the tournament from the African U-17 Championship to the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations, similar to the senior's version, Africa Cup of Nations.
In July 2016, Total has secured an eight-year sponsorship package from the Confederation of African Football to support 10 of its principal competitions, including the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations Champions, renamed Total U-17 Africa Cup of Nations.Results
