Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Liberia\u2019s Women\u2019s U-17 football team is one step away from reaching the 2024 World Cup. The Liberian team secured a hard-fought qualification over Senegal to reach the last six of the qualifying rounds.<\/p>\n

Despite a 3-1 defeat in the first leg away from home, the Liberian side put their house in order to beat Senegal 2-0 on home soil on Sunday and advanced to the final qualifying round on the away goals rule.<\/p>\n

The crunch stage of qualifying for the 2024 U-17 Women\u2019s World Cup in the Dominican Republic has arrived, with six African nations vying for the three remaining places. After a series of two-legged playoff ties, Burundi, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Zambia, and Liberia have progressed to make up the \u201cFinal Six\u201d in the CAF qualifying competition.<\/p>\n

Burundi booked their place with an 18-0 aggregate demolition of Djibouti, while Kenya saw off Ethiopia 3-0 in the second leg after a goalless first encounter. Those two nations will now face off over two legs, with the first match taking place on June 7th.<\/p>\n

Morocco also navigated their way through in emphatic fashion, following up a 4-0 first leg win over Algeria with the same scoreline in the return leg to set up a meeting with Zambia. It promises to be a mouth-watering tie, with the young Zambians aiming to emulate the success of the senior national side after beating Uganda 2-1 on aggregate.<\/p>\n

Liberia, who overcame Senegal on the away goals rule after winning 2-0 to overturn the 3-1 deficit from the first leg, will also compete in the final qualifying round.<\/p>\n

Reigning U-17 world champions Nigeria predictably proved too strong for Burkina Faso, winning 13-1 over the two legs. Their incentive is a duel with the other qualifying nations for a spot in the World Cup.<\/p>\n

The three victorious nations from the final qualifying phase will book their spots at the U-17 Women\u2019s World Cup in the Dominican Republic. The first legs take place on June 7, with the return matches scheduled for June 14 across the continent.<\/p>\n
