Ethiopia’s U17 team the Red Foxes will on Sunday host Egypt’s Little Pharaohs in the return leg match of the CAF U17 AFCON qualifier in Dire Dawa City.

The Foxes carrying a healthy 3-1 advantage from the first encounter in Cairo, will be angling to finish off the remaining bit of the job and move to the next round.

Buoyed by the Cairo conquest Coach Atenafu Alemu is confident his intended deployment of attacking and systematic defending system will be enough to see them carry the day.

The visitors arrived in Addis, the initial city for the match, and flew immediately to Dire Dawa.

Eight teams will make it to Madagascar for the U17 championship that kicks off on April 2-16, 2017. Semi finalists will make it to U17 FIFA World Cup in India later that year.
