The 16 remaining nations are preparing for the second round of the African qualifiers of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup with a clear focus of securing a place at the global showpiece set to be hosted by Morocco between 17 October - 07 November.

The action gets underway on Friday, 22 May in Kampala with a highly anticipated East African derby between Uganda and Kenya. However, one of the standout fixtures of the round will take place in Dakar, where Senegal host Cameroon's Young Lionesses at the Stade Léopold Sédar Senghor.

On Saturday, 23 May, several continental heavyweights will battle it out.

Nigeria - the dominant force in this category and a regular presence at the world stage - travel to Abidjan to face Guinea. Ghana will host Liberia, while the clash between Tanzania and South Africa in Zanzibar promises fireworks.
