African goalkeepers did not particularly shine during the U17 World Cup.

This situation partly reflects the mixed performances of the various African teams in the tournament.

As a reminder, no African side managed to reach the semi-finals. The journeys of Burkina Faso and Morocco ended in the quarter-finals.

Below is the ranking of the best African goalkeepers at the U17 World Cup:

Lwandiso Radebe (South Africa): 27 saves

Rahim Ouattara (Burkina Faso): 23 saves

Slim Bouaskar (Tunisia): 18 saves

Omar Abdel Aziz (Egypt): 17 saves

Christo Chitambala (Zambia U17): 15 saves

Edrisah Waibi (Uganda): 12 saves

Chouaib Bellaarouch (Morocco U17): 12 saves

Lamine Sinaba (Mali U17): 11 saves

Christ Kouassi (Ivory Coast U17): 10 saves

Vincent Gomis (Senegal U17): 7 saves
