U17 AFCON: When is the game between Nigeria and Burkina Faso and how can I watch?

Soccernet.ng brings you everything you need to know about the last-eight fixture between the Golden Eaglets and Baby Stallions

 

Nigeria now shift focus to their U17 Africa Cup of Nations fixture against Burkina Faso.

The Golden Eaglets survived an early scare to overcome South Africa in their last Group B fixture, a result that earned them qualification as runners-up.

Victory over their West African foes will see them qualify for the 2023 U17 FIFA World Cup and also a place in the last four of the cadet championship taking place in Algeria.

After bowing 1-0 to Mali in their opening fixture, Brahima Traore’s boys returned to winning ways – defeating defending champions Cameroon 2-1 to progress.
