The WAFU Zone B U17 Championship experienced a delay in the Group B matches scheduled for Wednesday, May 22.

The matchups between Niger and Burkina Faso at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium and Nigeria and Togo at the Rugby Stadium were postponed due to heavy rainfall in Accra.

As a result of the inclement weather that lasted for hours, the games have been rescheduled to be played on Thursday morning. All matches are now set to kick off at 9 am, giving the teams time to prepare and regroup for their upcoming fixtures.

The outcomes of the rescheduled Group B matches will determine the semi-final opponents for Ghana and Ivory Coast, who secured their spots from Group A after finishing in the top two positions. Fans and supporters eagerly anticipate the action as the tournament progresses towards the semi-finals and ultimately the championship title.
