The Mali national U20 football team, led by coach Mamoutou Kané, also known as "Mourlé", will start their preparation for the UFOA-A U20 tournament today at the Kabala Internat.

The UFOA-A U20 tournament will bring together eight nations in Bamako, including Mali, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Cape Verde, Sierra Leone, Mauritania, and Guinea-Bissau. The tournament is a major event, with the two finalists qualifying for the next Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) U20.
