matches, while the Girls side collected only a single point in their campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In the Boys competition, last year\u2019s runners-up Senegal headline the semi-final line-up and are joined by Benin, Uganda and Morocco.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, defending champions Ghana lead the way in the Girls category, alongside Burkina Faso, Morocco and Zambia.<\/p>\n<p>All semi-final matches will be played
