The youth and junior competitions feature representatives from Benin (BEN), Nigeria (NGR), Niger (NIG) and Togo (TOG). Ghana (GHA) were due to appear in the junior competition but they have forfeited their place and a readjustment of the competition has been made.
All the junior games are being played at the 'Palais de Sport du 29 Juillet', while all the youth matches are underway at the 'Academie des Arts' in Niamey.
After three preliminary round match days, and with one left, the medal matches are now known.
In the youth competition, Nigeria have won all three of their games dominantly to top the group with six points and a goal difference of +73. They will play Niger (four points) for the gold medal, while Benin (2) will face Togo (0) for bronze.
Benin have been dominant in the junior competition with a 100% record too and six points, and they will play Nigeria (4) for gold.
Hosts Niger take on Togo today in the final preliminary round match for third or fourth place and with both teams looking for their first points. The two teams will fight again tomorrow, for bronze, as they cannot catch Nigeria in second spot.
