2021 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations

The 2021 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations was planned to be the 14th edition of the Africa U-17 Cup of Nations (19th edition if tournaments without hosts are included), the biennial international youth football tournament organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for players aged 17 and below. Cameroon would have been the defending champions. In September 2018, it was decided that the tournament would be hosted by Morocco. This would have been the first edition of the Africa U-17 Cup of Nations to have expanded to twelve teams instead of eight. The top four teams of the tournament would have normally qualified for the 2021 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Peru as the CAF representatives. However, FIFA decided on 24 December 2020 to cancel the tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
