Group winners and best three runners-up qualify for the tournament with hosts Cameroon competing in Group B.
If Cameroon tops the group, the runners-up will qualify; if they finish runners-up, the winners will qualify; if they finish third or fourth, the winners will qualify and the runners-up will compete for one of the three additional places.
Also, Zambia’s hopes of becoming only the second African nation to win the Under-20 World Cup are over after a 3-2 defeat to Italy on Monday.
